Is 350 watts enough for this?

I want to purchase these components for my new system:

Will an Antec 350W power supply be enough? I want to possibly add another 80 GB in the future, and I will definitely be adding an 802.11g card.

Should be fine, doesn't look like anything too power hungry, and if you're only running the standard set of drives, i.e. 1-2 hard drives, 1-2 optical drives, there really shouldn't be anything to worry about. I'd only worry if you were getting a 6800GT video card or something. Some people will say you need 550 watts, but that's just overkill.

350 is plenty. One suggestion, I'd suggest an Asus A8V instead of the Chaintech board. It won't cost alot more and it's a more reliable board/better brand. Just my $.02.

No PCI Express.

No PCI Express.

The A8V isn't PCI-Express. That's the A8N-SLi that's PCI-E. The A8V is the VIA K8T880 chipset.

Heres a link to it on Asus's website.

350 is decent when you get a name brand. I prefer Enermax but Antec is good.
