That should be enough, on my old comp, I had an Intel Celeron 1.7 GHz, 512 mb of ddr ram, ATI Radeon 9250 256 MB, 1 x 40gb hd, 1 x 20 gb hd, 1 x cd burner, 1 x dvd reader, 1 x wireless pci adaptor, and I only had a 180w PSU, so yours should be fine.

if you have the money then get a better psu. 450 mim that is something the regulars here stress not to skimp on

No offense, but unless you plan on any major part upgrades soon, that would be a complete waste of money. 300 watts is WAY plenty. I had a 250 watt power supply with a Celeron 2.93ghz, 512 mb RAM, Nvidia 5200, and DVD RW: and even that wasn't using all of the PSU. You must be completely brainwashed to think that such a basic computer would need a 450 watt PSU.
