Will this PSU work with this setup?

I was gonna say yes, but looking at all these extras:
Raptor 36
Wifi Card
Cathode Lights
2 Case Fans
1 Cyclone Blower
I'd say no.

(Pressed Yes too quick until I saw that, so my vote goes to No).

I think it would be okay, although I've never used extras like fancy lighting and whatever a "Cyclone blower" is, but unless they eat up a lot of juice, I think it will work (just don't add too many new things before you upgrade the PSU).

since info is unspecific im going to leave you to this, not positive about its accuracy.

I entered my system specs, and it came up with a 371W PSU recommendation. While I do run a 380W PSU, and have never had any trouble with it (so maybe it's actually fairly accurate), I've also never seen my system pull more than about 240W from the wall, as reported by a watt-meter that I have hooked up to it, so maybe it substantially overestimates (though I'm thinking not since it's recommending PSU rating and not trying to guess at how much power the system will pull form the outlet).

Note about this: it listed 250+ W for my system, and the wattage meter I got with my PSU reads barely more than 100W at all times (though I may be reading it rong, don't you love analog displays). I also run WCG whenever my comp's turned on.
