Psu Question

I am half way through building my new system and i the question i have is how big a power supply will i need?.

Spec:

Asus P5N32-E SLI NF680i SLI
Intel E6600
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
Gigabyte Aurora (3x120mm fans)
4 gig of 800mz OCZ ram
3 HDs 1x120 2x320 (may add 1 more so take that into account)
1 DVD burner
8800 640GTS (Will add a second to go sli at later date)

Now i actully already have bought a power but am worried it wont produce enough power how much will i need for the spec i have posted?

PSU already bought :Zalman ZM600-HP Heatpipe Cooled 600W Modular PSU

I didnt buy from OcUK and can be returned if needed.So if this is not up to the job what should i buy im trying to keep cost of psu under £90 and would prefer modular

According to (reputable) reviews of the 8800GTS, recommend for SLi, you need a PSU with 600 Watts minimum & 432W/36A on the +12V Rails. Now that Zalman PSU is 600W, but has 504W/42A total on its 4 +12V rails. I will argue that its (more than) capable to handle
