At what point would I need a new powersupply? I currently have an InWin Q500 w/a 300 watt PS. I have crammed these things into it:

Abit KT7a-raid
Tbird @ 1.3
Plextor 40x max
Plextor 8/20 cdr
Pioneer 303s 6x scsi dvd
Ide ZIP
18 gig 7200 rpm WD ata66 HD
4.5 gig 7200 rpm Quantum UW scsi HD
27 gig 5400 rpm Maxtore ata66 HD
Geforce2 GTS
Adaptec 2940uw
Sblive Value w/Hoontech digital bracket
3com 905TX NIC
USR hardware pro 56k modem
STB Desktop TV card

I've run out of bays in the back of my computer, and I'll likely be adding a 10k rpm scsi drive, and possibly replacing the 18 gig WD with a couple 75GXPs for RAID. Would I be ok on my 300 watt then? Would a 350 suffice or should I go for 400? Any help is welcome.
