for that setup you probably need a minimum of 450 Watts id reccomend 550 though i cant tell you how much each part needs but
if you want to add an extra hardrive or cd drive or both then get 600W to be on safe side more if its in your price range but 600 should be fine

You can't think of it as what is the bare minimum I will need. If you think that way, get yourself a 400W powersupply. But that powersupply won't last very long being brought to its knees everytime you boot up your computer. You want more, you don't want less. I would say nothing short of 650.

EDIT: Since I got negative rep for this comment, I would like to state that what I said was a joke. If you do not like this joke or are offended by it, I apologize. However, I do not feel like I deserved it.
You should definitely at least have 1,200W. Even then, it still might be too low.
No but seriously, I would say 600-650 is good.

Has anyone found an online power calculator? I found this one http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp But cost to use.
Also found one at the Antec home page but there is a charge to use also.
Found a couple free ones but they were outdated.
