I havn't quite completed my system build yet, but want to take advantage of this deal before it expires tomorrow (is this even a good deal?) - Is it enough for my build?

CORSAIR CMPSU-450VX 450W
The 12V+ rail is ~33 Amps

My components:
AMD X4 Phenom II 965
Gigabyte GA-MA78GMT
Not sure on video card yet - possibly 9800GT, 250GTS, or radeon 4770
2 sticks of 2GB DDR3 RAM
1 SATA hdd, 1 PATA hdd, 1 SATA external occassionally
dvd drive
3 120mm fans

I checked this setup on extreme power supply calculator
http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp
turned out to be ~280W lol

I also checked ati's website for the 4770, said minimum 450W, recommended 550W PSU

Yes it's enough, and you can't delete threads. Just leave it be, or PM a moderator/report the thread and ask for it to be closed.
