I am running a similar amount of hardware, with the addition of 2 additional hard drives. I have a 480 Watt Powmax, had it for about a year.

Watch out for cheap, generic name PSU's, they are known to save you a few bucks, but not deliver what they claim.

Good brands are Thermaltake, and Zahlman, about all the PSU's they make are great quality.
