Power Concern over Shuttle SB61G2V3

I'm building my first two computers ever this summer (one desktop geared heavily towards gaming and a SFF computer that will be decent for LAN gaming but much easier to transport), so I've been having to take into consideration a whole lot more than I'm used to. I'm looking at a Shuttle SB61G2V3 for my case, but since it only comes with a 250W PSU, I'm slightly concerned that the rest of my parts are a little too much for it to handle. I'm looking at:

  • Sony DVD/CD-RW Drive
  • eVGA GeForce 6600GT AGP
  • Hitachi 200GB Hard Drive

I know the specs on the video card say 300W, so that's my main concern. I've read about people using 6600GTs in this case fine, but I'd just like a little reassurance that I should be within the power constraints of this system before I make any purchases (or start looking at new cases if I'm not). If it matters, I plan on dropping in a P4 2.8 and 2 512MB sticks of RAM. Thanks for the feedback.
 
You will be fine. Take a look at the first system in my sig, all of that is on a 240W SilentX power supply.
 
The 250watt Silent X will power that no problem, they are very high quality PSU's. A lower wattage but higher quality PSU will beat a higher wattage,lower quality PSU any day of the week.
