Is there software that will calculate how much power I use?

Is the 350W I have enough for:

Athlon 64 3400+
2xSata WD 200GB each RAID 0
1 EIDE 250 Maxtor for backup and home DV files
ATI 9600 128MB
2GB dual Channel RAM
SOYO mobo socket 939
2 DVD burners, best is 16X dual layer (only use one at a time)
Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS with internal breakout box

Is there any software that will tell me how much juice I'm using up already?

Hihi that remaind me on something, that was my first question on this forum.

http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=177798&highlight=

technically speaking. its not possible. badge gave u a link to a PSU calc. its not very accurate and gives a general ball park number.

How close is general ball park...

I addded up the hardware in my system and it came to 466 watts
and have a 450w powersupply....
guess i should get something a bit better?

Your power supply could be strained and run hot. If that is the caes, I would replace it.

the calc gives ratings when ur system is under 100% load. everythign is running @ 100% if the PSU isnt an issue there is no point in fixing it.
