Will a quality 700 watt power supply be enough for a 4870, floppy, dvd burner, 3 x 2 gig ram, 2 hard drives & a core I7 920 O.C to 3.4? Thanks. Anyone running a system like this?

A quality 500W PSU will do.

I don't know, those floppies use a lot :P

700W will be plenty.

The system will max out somewhere around 300 watts.

700W is a bit too high, a 500w psu would be more efficient.

depand if you plan on CF this 700 is ok. If no CF in the futur, a Corsair 520 is the best !
