Ok my dads PSU has gone on his PC and i have a Akasa 400w 80+ PSU sat here and i'm wondering if it will be enough to power:

Core 2 Duo E6850 @ 3.0 (Stock)
4gb ram
1 HDD
1 disc drive
XFX 5770 (stock)
Asus p5n-t Deluxe

If not any recommendations on how powerful the PSU needs to be

A 300W PSU would power that.

As long as the Akasa PSU is of reasonable quality it'll be fine.

Since Akasa 400w 80+ PSU is a branded PSU it should be fine...

Should not be a problem if kept at, or close to stock.

The Akasa models I've seen all have high output 12V rails. The 400W models mostly tend to have over 30A (360W max), which would be plenty for what's in your rig.
