anyone know of a site I can use to double check an estimated amount of watts I would need out of a PSU for an upgraded rig I'm doing shortly?

does 348 watts sound right for the following

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz

EVGA 132-YW-E179-TR LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 790i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000)

8800 GTX

2 10,000 RPM WD Raptors

and a DVD-Rom drive in a Full size tower?

I just wanna make sure I'm not screwing up this estimate, I really thought that was gonna be quite different
