What would power this rig?

I need a new PSU for this:

Intel E4600
Nvidia 8800GT
ASRock 775Dual-VSTA
OCZ 2 x 1GB
Seagate 250GB HDD
X-Fi Xtrememusic

Also, will my Coolmax 400W (+18 on 12V rail) run an 8800GT? I have a 7600GT right now with no problems.
 
The E7200 is faster, has more cache, and is the same price as the E4600. It's also a 45nm chip and overclocks like a beast.

Nvidia recommends something like 24A on the 12V rail for a system with an 8800GT.
 
Too late, I already own the rig 😛

They recommend it, but can I run it on less? I'm going to get an Earthwatts 500 soon, but can I use it with what I have?
