How much power do I need?

The desktop in my sig is what I'm talking about. 3 opticals, 3 hard drives, audigy 2, x800xt AIW, PCI IDE card.

Would the True Power 380 be able to handle this? Would my system run too hot?

EDIT: Forgot that I changed my sig...haha system specs added to post
 
Oh right, its a 3.0 P4 on a ASUS P4C800 Deluxe board with 1 gig of ram. Its currently in a beast of a coolermaster case that I just want to get rid of...and I want to have front USB/headphone jack available.
 
I was going to suggest possibly keeping your current powersupply (whatever it is, since it's working already) and getting an SLK 3000b for the case. It doesn't have front headphone though... (although that can be fixed with and audio extension cable)...
 
The thing is, this current computer is having weird issues. Since I put in the X800 the computer takes 2 boots to get going. On the second boot, the MOBO screen is upside down. I feel like this might be attributed to power problems.
 
This question likely belongs in the case forum and sort of derails this thread but are there any good cases like the sonata that are quiet and dont have a door on the front?
 
Hrm so it looks like the sonata is the leader. Anyone have a clue as to what the upside down mobo screen might mean?
