It is a Nvida GeForce 7300 Gt

The absolute minimum would be 300W, but 400W would be a better idea. If you ever plan to upgrade to a very high end video card, you might consider going up to 500W to allow yourself the room. To the previous answer, Scanners and Digital Cameras do not draw power from the system, digital cameras have batteries, and scanners have those magical cords that you plug into the wall.

ok next time list a card that would really help saying a nvida card doesn't help at all but here's some suggestions for certains cards because you didn't list one
7600gt and 8600gt- 300 or more watts with 17 or more amps
7900series-any powersupply with 20 or more amps but i would go with at least 400-500 watts
8800series-500watts with a dual 12v+ rail adding to more than 28-30 amps
EDIT: you should be find with a good 300watt powersupply the 7300gt isn't a powerhog

Today the standard is 400watts and above, you need alot of power if you are using high end graphics cards, Large harddrives (270g and up) and also if you intend to overclock the CPU or the GPU.
