i have the follow system and it never draws more than 200w from the wall. (idle 80-120w, gaming 160-190w)

Phenom X4 965
EVGA GTX460
8GB DDR3
WD640 Caviar black + Seagate 7200.12 500GB

so i'd say you are safe...

I don't understand why ppl alway think you need a 500w+ PSU even when you have a low-midrange pc.
