Did i totally screw things up on this build? I have a an Antek ISK 300-65 mini-itx case which has a 65w PSU on it. I bought a Core i3-2100 Sandy Bridge (Not the 'T' version), an OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE120G, a Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD10TPVT 1TB all running on a ASUS P8H67-I DELUXE motherboard with 4GB of DDR3 1333 RAM.
What worries me is that the PSU will not be sufficient to power everything. I don't think i can put a different PSU in the case. Should i return the case and get a different one and bigger PSU? I also bought a LITE-ON Internal BD-COMBOdrive mistakenly. (Didn't notice the "slim" requirement for the case) If I could, I'd like to put all this in a mini-itx case. Do you think I should go to a Micro-ATX instead? You can see the items I bought on this wishlist

Even though the last part is a shopping recommendation (for a better case) there is still a valid question in there, the PSU requirements: Based on this PSU calculator you need a minimum of 126W. This is a rough estimate based on the info you gave and I'm sure you can get away with less depending on your cpu utilization. But I would definitely put a slightly more powerful supply. In fact if I take the Blu-ray drive, the ssd, the hdd, and the RAM out of the picture it still says a minimum of 83 watts.
