Yes Disco Bushido I think it is if its a true 480 and not a crappy generic power supply. Try a Enermax or Antec.

An antec 480 should be just fine. I'd take a 300W quality PSU over a 600W no-name hunk of junk.

I'm not sure of the draw your built-in light show will have, just do the math of what'll be in your system, add about 50-100% more for good measure, and you'll be fine for sure
