Hi Sam,

Should be OK as long as you don't have any additional devices. Go to eXtreme Power Supply Calculator v2.5 (click on Lite), to calculate your usage. Give up to 15% for capacitor aging.

It's worth adding, if only to give yourself to breathing space for the next few years.

EDIT: Marked as answered.
