Is this PSU adequate for my system?

Hey everyone. I just bought a new PSU for a low-budget computer I'm building... it's an Antec SmartPower 400W. I was just wondering if it had enough WATTAGE for my needs. My parts are as shown: Athlon 64 2800+, 2x512 PC3200 DDR RAM, DFI LanParty nForce3 250gb mobo, GeForce 6800LE AGP, double layer DVD-RW, floppy (heh), case/some fans, mouse, keyboard, speakers, monitor. I might do some minor o/c'ing in the future. I was wondering if this PSU (400W) has enough for my specs. I don't know much about electrical current and wattage, hehe. Thanks! :)

Awesome! Thanks! I just didn't know if the 400 watts was enough. These days, I see everyone getting like 550+ watts! Wow.... so I didn't know, but I guess it works, hehe.
