Does the SLK3700-BQE's PSU have enough power for my proposed system?

I want to get this case because I'm on a tight budget. If the PSU is not powerful enough, will the more expensive Sonata have a powerful enough PSU? I know many of you like the Sonata more, but don't let that effect your judgment. Does the SLK3700-BQE's PSU have enough power for my proposed system? Thank you very much.
 
I'm running my system on a 400W Smart Power PSU inside an Antec case without any issue. I have two hard drives, two optical drives, a faster processor, etc... If you have any real concern, just pick up the 380W or 430W True Power PSU and you won't need to worry at all.
 
I had a dual athlon 2400+, 512MB ram, 120GB hard drive, DVD burner working just fine in a sonata. It's only got a GeForce MX440 and I don't game. But it is running Distributed Computing projects, so the CPUs are running at 100%.
 
I have the same case and PSU. It's currently running the following setup without a hiccup:

Intel 2.6C 2600MHz @ 3300MHz
MSI 865PE Neo2-P
512 MB of Geil PC4000
Asus V9280 nVidia Geforce4 Ti4200
Seagate 160.0 GB
LiteOn 16x DVD
LiteOn 48x32x48 CD-RW

Hope this helps.
