I was just looking at the specs of my pc and noticed that its only 375 watt psu.....

Thats running:

P4 3.0Ghz
1gb ram
160gb sata seagate hdd + the new Seagate ST3250824AS 250GB 7200RPM SATA300 8MB Cache - OEM

+ pcie ati radeon x850xt...

Will my psu be able to handle all this do you think?? I hope so!

No it didnt come with the gfx card.. fitted it myself a couple of months back....

It only came with one dvd drive aswell and im going to fit a new one with the order i buy tonight...

what will happen if there isnt enogh power..... and if there isnt enough power what are my options?

by the way when i chose the system i could have chosen 2 dvd drives 2 hdds and a 7800gtx if thats of any relivence
