I'm ordering a system with the following specs... will a 480W power supply be enough?

Asus A8V Deluxe Wi-Fi Mobo
Athlon FX-53
1GB Kingston RAM
1 Floppy Drive
1 10k Raptor
1 7200 RPM 160 GB Hitachi HD
1 Plextor DVD+- RW Drive
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
Geforce 6800 Ultra
5 80mm fans
1 92mm fan
4 cathode lighting tubes + 1 sound-sensitve controller

I think that's everything... the reason I thought I'd better ask is that Geforce 6800 Ultra; I here it draws some hefty power.

Check my sig. I have all that running on a 480W purepower and it runs fine so far. I think you're ok.

that should be alright, the psu will be under pretty heavy load, so it might get loud, but then again with 5-6 fans, I bet its already pretty loud.
