The DVD burners depend on the speed, make, model, cache, etc. The Intel Core 2 Duo E2220 runs at max of 65 W. The CPU and GPU use the most watts in your computer. The Raid setup might make the HDD's run at the same time. It won't increase the amount of wattage in use, just add the wattage of both HDD's and that will be the max AT ONE TIME. They will not be on ALL THE TIME. You may want to consider a 300 W power supply. The minimum for your GPU. Of course you can try it out now and see.
For a comparison, I am running a Pentium D 960 OVERCLOCKED. Power usage goes up to around 70-80 W. My Geforce GT 520 requires a 300 W poersupply. I have 2 HDD's not raided. And one DVD/CD burner with light scribe. All running fine on a 300 W stock powersupply.
