Enough power?

Hi everyone. Im just about to complete a new system (final parts arriving on tuesday. The spec will be...

Q6600 95w edition
250gb barracuda hard drive
8800GT (BFG)
Gigabyte mobo
X-FI extreme music
PCI wireless reciever card
Zalman NT CPU cooler
1 optical drive
1 floppy drive (yes i said it)
Tsunami Dream case

Now, from my old system i have salvaged a Tagan 480W PSU. Will this feed the system with enough power? I would really like to keep this PSU if possible, as money is low, and its a fantastic PSU.

Any advice?
Thanks!

Yeah that will be OK. I had a Tagan 430w running a Q6600 & 8800 GTX.

Should be ok, I would have thought you're cutting it a bit fine though.

Mint, i'm planning on going Q6600 as well, but have a 400w psu, but i'd only be running a 7800GT for now.

PS: I don't have a floppy.

Thanks. I knew i'd either be under powered or cutting a fine line. I'm goint to keep with this PSU for the time being.
