Antec 1030B PS

I could not find the 1040 in my area so I need to stick with 1030 instead.

I intend to run the following:

Abit KT7A
800TB oc 980
512M RAM
floppy
Pioneer DVD
Intel PCI modem
USB card (onboard USB is not that reliable)
SB sound card
PCI lan card
4x 8cm fans & 1 monitor fan (Just cooler 9cm)

Am I putting too much load on the Antec 300W PS or should I spend the money to buy an Enermax 350W PS ?
Does the extra 50W really make the difference ? I cannot afford the 450W Enermax which is quite expensive.

Thanks.
Tony

 
I`m pretty sure you will be fine since Antec 300w are high quality,I would try it first before even thinking of upgrading the PSU,but you should have no problems.
 
300W should be fine. I have an Iwill KK266R with 1Ghz T-Bird, Plextor 16x10x40, Pioneer DVD, 3 x 92mm panaflo case fans and 2 x 80mm case fans, plus some additional items all in my Antec SX1030. No problems.
