Power supppy i am using Antec 80+ Bronze 380W ... will this power supply enough for my pc .. beacause accoring to my assumption my pc uses only about 200-220W under extreme load on all hardware.

Yeah power supply is pretty old i think..
but what will be the consequences if i keep using this power supply ? will there be any hardware failure or perfomance loss ?

best case random restarts under load.
worst case out of spec power killing the parts slowly.
worster* case the PSU overloads and takes everything with it quickly.
the maximum wattage decreases over time (chemical components age). the unit may be only able to provide 340W or less.
