375watts enough power for....

I'd say you'd need a better PSU for that system.
Have a look here http://www.extreme.outervision.com/index.jsp to calculate your power consumption. Bear in mind that it is probably overestimated but it will give you an idea.

That ought to be fine provided you aren't overclocking much. This is an old PSU calculator that may help to give you an idea.

You could get either a Seasonic or Antec 430w for ~£60 which will both be quite capable of powering your system, the Antec is modular as well so ought to be neater. A Hiper 580w modular is also around the same price. Do bear in mind though that your max load isn't often reached, however in your case it may be just as well to be safe.

I would probably say both are pretty quiet, get the Seasonic one, it's guaranteed not to let you down.
Have one myself.
I was refering to Socket A AMD ones and Ive done a bit of experimenting and found they do work even a mobile one but obviously the lead can help stabilise it but your most likely totally right about the newer more power hungry chips
