Will my PSU be enough for new spec?

I'm getting ready to purchase an upgrade to my old s939 rig - had planned on putting in a s939 X2 and some more RAM but decided to go the Intel route. I've also decided to go for a GTX but was wondering if my Thermaltake Purepower 680W would be enough - it pulls 30A combined over two over the 12v rails, but I'm not sure if, coupled with the rest of the build, it'll be pumping out enough juice.

The build is;

E2200 (will overclock this)
GA-P35C-DS3R
4GB GeiL DDR2 ULL
OcUK GeForce 8800 GTX
2x Seagate Barracuda 250gb 7200.10
Tuniq Tower 120
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Fatal1ty 7.1 Champion
Saitek Eclipse 2
Razer Copperhead
Vista x64
Dell 2407WFP
Some old DVD-RW drive (SATA)
Couple of case fans

Any insight would be helpful!

Should be absolutely fine, I'm a little bit surprised that it doesn't give more Amps on the 12v rail but there is no way it shouldn't handle that system easily.

Sounds fine to me.

Shouldn't be a problem mate. Ran my GTX on a Tagan 580W for months

My GTX works on a 550 watt!
that will be fine

680W? That rig's peak power draw is unlikely to be half of that.

Thanks all, very reassuring, lol - didn't want to order, have it arrive, put everything together and for nothing to happen. The PSU would go through the wall
