My computer upgrade problem

So, my current pc died.
<ul>
<li>AMD 1800+</li>
<li>ti4600</li>
<li>350W Enermax</li>
<li>2 x 512 DDR</li>
<li>30G ATA133 HD</li>
<li>... blah blah(was good... now crap)</li>
</ul>
The video card fan failed. I have no interest in repairing it. Time to upgrade.
Replacements are
<ul>
<li>ASUS M2N-X</li>
<li>AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Brisbane 65W EE</li>
<li>mushkin 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2</li>
<li>Seagate Barracuda 250G (Perpendicular Recording)</li>
<li>MSI Radeon HD 2600XT 512MB 128-bit GDDR3</li>
</ul>
I think I covered all the upgrades there.

Anyway, to the point. I've been scouting around trying to get good, reliable information about power consumption. As far as I can tell, my power supply listed at the top should be fully effective for my new parts, but I can't be sure of this until it passes inspection by the TFP smarties. Is 350W ok, or should I go bigger?

BTW, I welcome all input here, but I should note, I'm getting all the upgrade components for a total of $368.46, which as far as I can tell is a sweet deal, but if you can point me to a better one, please do.
