This is my first computer build and i have my old Psu (which is listed above) just sitting around and want to reuse it if possible sense money is tight. Thank you!
Also ill be adding a few fans for extra cooling.

No problem. But for $10 more you can get the faster, cooler running HD 7770 w/a free game.

I would completely agree about that Gpu, but atm i already own the gts 450 i posted and am going to install that in my new rig. The psu and gpu i already own and purchased the cpu and Mobo which i received two days ago. I'm about to purchase the rest tomorrow and was wondering if i needed to add a psu to my list. In the future i plan on upgrading it unless the psu i have is well within means of handling my rig i posted.

As I said, no problem. 38A on the +12V rail will handle the CPU and GPU along with the other devices on that rail easily.

Sorry one more thing. Also forgot to mention and list that i will also have a sound card to.

Sorry for that. Once again Thank you so much for the help, much appreciated.

No need to appologize, that's what we're here for ;-)
It's still not an issue. Sound cards draw very little in the way of power. If you need to check on your power usage in the future, there are many power supply calculators online. Your MB manufacturer has one too: http://support.asus.com/powersupply.aspx
Newegg has a simple one: http://images10.newegg.com/BizIntell/tool/psucalc/index.html
Here's one that is a bit more comprehensive: http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

Keep in mind that the greatest demand for power will almost always be your graphic card and CPU, usually in that order. That's why it is always best to check the +12V rail(s) on the PSU's specs. Most power hungry devices run off the +12V rail.

Once again thanks for the help. I feel much better about building my new rig with the psu i have.
