Is 400W PSU enough for a P4 System?

[Cannibal Corpse]

Hi All,

I am in the process of gathering bits and pieces for my P4 system to be built soon, and I need to know how much WATTs a PSU should have to fully support P4?

Thanks in advance.

I run my P4 1.7, 512 DDR, GF3Ti200, WD 100GB 8MB, SBLive, DVD on a 300W without any problem. No burner though.
