Does my PSU have enough power for my new GFX card?

Well I've been out of the PC game for a while and when my graphics card died I blindly went and bought a 6800XT AGP. Its only now (about an hour before its due to arrive :o ) that I'm wondering if my PSU will be up to the job of supplying it juice?

My PSU is a Vantec ION 400W with 16A on the 12V rail. Is that going to cut the mustard or have I gresed up the slippery slope of PC upgrade time? :o :p
 
Well after fitting my new card I then found that my mobo had given up the ghost (probably spured on by me moving it between rooms) So its now in my Asus S-Presso which is my media pc... with a whacking great 220W PSU, works ok though :eek: :eek:

Its going to be a challenge getting a new psu with more power that will actually fit :o
