EA430 Enough to Handle this Build?

Hi everyone,

I wanted to know if an Antec Earthwatts EA430 430W PSU could handle this system. I think it can, but I wanted everyone's opinion. Thanks.

Intel E8500 3.16Ghz CPU
Asus 9800GT Ultimate (Basically a 9800GTX)
Gigabyte P45 DS3L Motherboard
WD6400AAKS Hard Drive
DVD RW Optical Drive
2 GB DDR2 667

 
Should be able to. The EA430 puts out 30A combined +12v. The 9800 GT Ultimate just has a dual slot cooler and a highly overclocked core, but otherwise still uses one PCIe 6 pin plug.

Cool thanks, I actually ended up with an EA500 since it came back in stock at Newegg.
