I have a 300watt power supply and I have 3 HDs, DVD, CDRW, TV card, sound card, 3 NICs & GeForce. So I suppose you won't have any problems with your configuration.

Stick to the 300W. 350W is even better.

All depends on the output of each of the psu's rails. I.e. the 3.3,5 and 12 volt rails. A PSU with a total combined output on the 3.3 and 5 volt rails of 180 watts should be good enough.
