Is this enough?

[fachmannn]

I used extreme powersupply calculator and it came out 382w and I have a 380w Antec....

3850HD 256
X2 3800+ AM2
2GB DDR2-667 Corsair
Gigabyte s23r
2x 80GB HDD 7200rpm
DVD ROM


.... this is going to be bad, I will have no money for a PSU upgrade thus making me not be able to upgrade if my 380w cant run this... PLEASE someone, can i run all this with 380w antec?

Ok this site claims the 2900XT 1MB uses almost 120watts, and lower cards like the 2600XT use about 30-40 watts... I'm thinking the 3850 doesn't use almost 150watts?

If it helps my PSU model is: Antec SU380 not sure what else it's called, a friend gave it to me and it has a seperate 6pin PCI-e connector.

Thats a fairly low power unit and would be strugling to power your system. It might be fine for a while but you are going to be pushing that PSU really hard.

The 3850 has a TDP of 90W.

Your system should consume <250W (65%) from the psu under a torture load. The SU380 is another Seasonic built psu with a 28A 12V rail, and it offers plenty of power for your system.

You should be fine. As John said, even maxed out, your system should be within spec for that PSU.
