In my current 939 system I have a 500 watt Antec NeoPower psu. It was actually a replacement for an earlier antec psu that crapped out on me in early 2007.

My new build will be a AMD 940 cpu with a ati 4870 gpu, possibly a 4890. I plan to stick with just one harddrive, dvd burner and cd burner. I'm also looking at a new case with 3 120mm fans. Lastly, I also have an iPod Shuffle that charges through my computer (which itself might get replaced by a larger iPod)

So assuming I stay with just one video card, will my current power supply be enough for my future system?

Here are the NewEgg specs for the PSU
