Too much for this power supply?

[MrBossman]

I was looking at getting this OCZ Power Supply but I need to know if it will be enough to handle the load I'm planning to use it on. I'm leaning towards the idea I need a 500w supply but I know the specs on the rails for the OCZ would probably cover it. I just need to know for sure.

Here's the specs of what I will be running:

ASUS K8V SE Deluxe Motherboard
3200+ AMD64 cpu
1 GB Patriot Extreme (Low Latency) PC3200
Geforce 6800 128MB Vid Card
2 Optical Drives: DVD Burner & DVD-ROM
At least 3 Maxtor IDE HDD: 2-160GBs and a 200GB, 8mb cache & 7200RPM
Finally some minor cooling at this time. Will look at upgrading later.

All of this is what I will run at the time of getting the power supply, but I will plan to upgrade later. Who knows? Maybe a SATA drive or 2, better cooling, better vid, etc. Will this power supply handle that current load and, within reason, handle some additional upgrades or do I need to go larger? I've got a budget of about $100 which I know is not a lot, but I was thinking of a 500w Ultra then this option came up.

That should be more than adequate for your needs, current and future.

That OCZ is rock solid, but not very quiet (if that is a concern).

The true measure of a PSU is not how big it is, but rather its ability to sustain
a constant voltage under adverse conditions (low input voltage, high input voltage, less than perfect devices, etc..)

Specifically, the combined +3/+5 voltage is 230W max, more than adequate to cover the
GPU - CPU combo you have. (CPU = 75W, GPU = 75-100Wmax)
