Angel-of-Sorrow

As if it weren't obvious by my post count, I'm new to the forums, though I've been using it for reading about products for quite some time now. Anyways, after about a half an hour of fighting myself on where to post my question, I finally decide to go here.
So, my current computer is running off of a Corsair HX520, and I plan on adding an Evga 8800 GTS KO ACS3, [this is where my fight came from, PSU section VS. Video card], sometime soon, hopefully during this week if everything goes as planned. Unfortunately, I'm not quite super intelligent when it comes to power supplies.
I know an 8800 GTS can run on a HX520, but I also have a good amount of stuff running off it at the moment. Currently, I have the following in my case:
Processor: Core 2 Duo E6400/w Stock heatsink
Motherboard: Asus P5B
Memory: Corsair XMS2 1GB (2 x 512MB)
Hard Drive: 160 GB Western Digital
Floppy Drive: Basic Sony floppy drive
DVD/CD Drive: Samsung Lightscribe (http://www.samsung.com/Products/OpticalDiscDrive/DVDWriter/OpticalDiscDrive_DVDWriter_SH_S182M.asp)
Extra Preph.:
-Thermaltake xSpeaker (http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/product/Accessory/a1875/a1875.asp)
-Silverstone FP52 (http://www.silverstonetek.com/products-fp52.htm)
-Cold Cathode (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16800888031)
-UV Covered fan (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811999473)
Not including the UV covered fan, I'm also running four 120 mm fans, two of which are LED fans [one is a three setting fan]. I have the UV fan and a LED fan plugged into the motherboard, and the other three fans are plugged into the FP52. I just want to know with everything I have plugged in so far whether or not it'll be possible to add on the Evga, or am I going to have to unplug the xSpeaker and cathodes and get a bigger power supply, maybe even the HX620 to run everything.
Thanks for any help in advanced.
