I concur with everyone else - don't skimp. 550W should cope with that lot without any issues, but there's no harm in a little extra headroom.

Having said that, I've had a couple of Antecs go pop. In both cases only the PSU went (although one of them had a go at my UPS until a fuse blew and saved it). Try that with a cheapo PSU and you'll be buying a new PC.
