That'll work too. Especially if you do any upgrading down the road, you'll have enough "juice" to run it all. :)

My desktop came with a 450watt power supply, a single hard drive and a DVD drive. I upgraded my system and bought a CD-Writer Drive and a second hard drive, and along the way, got a good deal on a 600watt power supply.
