I just spent some time modding my Aria, installing a fan on each of the side panels for better cooling and airflow. But I started to think. Is my 300w PSU too weak for the things I am planning to put in it?

First of all, I make sure that with anything I buy, that the PSU requirements are at or below 300w. But I am going to have a lot of things hooked up. Will this be a problem, even though they are all within the 300w requirement?... this is the configuration that I have planned for it...

-ASUS A8N-VM CSM nForce 430 mATX board
- AMD Athlon 3500+ CPU
- 2GB dual Channel Mushkin DDR400
-WD 320GB SATAII HDD
-Plextor 16x SATA DVD-RW
-eVGA nVidia GeForce 6800 256MB PCI-E video card
-SoundBlaster X-FI Elite Pro sound card
-E-MU 1820M PCI Audio Interface


If it is not good enough, than I plan to buy something else such as the Aspire X-QPack or the Silverstone SG01-E with a 500w PSU... but if it is good enough, I dont wanna waste money on something I dont need, so Ill keep the Aria.
