What else would you have in your PC?
How many HDD, optical drives... what's your video card? How many other devices do you have in it? That would govern the answer... but in short, you should be fine. |

Your monitor, speakers, and router have their own power source so... I'd say you are looking good there...

One thing to remember, with power supplies its not all about the wattage, what is most important is the amperage the powersupply can provide to the 12v, 5v, and 3.3v rails. For newer systems it is advisable to have at least 22a on the 12v rail, 32a+ being optimal for running A64 systems, high end cooling, and the newest generation of video cards. I do not know off hand what your PSU rails are, I would guess in the 20-24a range. You can find these rating either on the manufacturer's website, the PSU's box, on the side of the unit or by going to newegg and finding your drive. Antec is a quality manufacturer, your system should do well with it.
