Will A 380W Work For This System?

mATX Board - Gigabyte GA-G31M (G31 Intel Chipset)
E6400
1 Stick of Ram
6 HDDs, Maybe 8.
SATA expansion PCI card

Powered by a 380W PSU by Antec, case is 4480B.

I'm just unsure how much power 6HDDs would draw out.

From what I've gleaned in the last few days, without a doubt. Especially if you're going with the integrated graphics.

yeah, a hd takes normally no more than 15 watts it seems. 10 of them is 150 at most. that leaves 230. You could power a dedicated card for gaming and that cpu on 230 no problem. so... yeah its more than adequate
