Enough Amperage on 280 W PSU?

[sinnombre101]

System Specs:
AMD XP 2800 @ 2.08 ghz cpu
2x256 ddr 2700 ram
ATI Radeon 9800 128mb
1 dvd-rom + 1 CD-RW drives
1 Harddrive @80 gb

PSU: Total 280 W
12V @ 15 A, 17 A peak
5 V @ 30 A
3.3V @ 28 A

I'm most concerned about the graphics card..

Well, my standard answer would be no, but before you sling that credit card out of its holster, go download something like motherboard monitor and see what values you get under load. No sense in fixing something that's not broke!

Why are you considering this? Is there a particular reason you are looking at getting a 280w PSU.

I have this system configuration running now, actually..I'm worried about whether or not the values are reliable for it to run efficiently.

Okay, so you are validating a current system. Are you having any problems right now? Instability issues, drives dropping out, etc?

I hope not!

Um. So you don't know if your system that is up and running is stable??? I'm not exactly following you.

So far it's running perfectly smoothly.

Perhaps he means that his system has been running without problems, but is worried that problems may crop up in the future due to an inadequate PSU.
