1.33 T-bird & Dragon

I am having a very hard time getting my system up. This is the first machine I put together and it locks up constantly. I thought I had a bad motherboard, so I just exchanged for a Soyo Dragon, then I have 1.33 T-bird, 64 DDR Radeon, Soundblaster Live, HP 16X writer, Pioneer 16X DVD and IBM 60 GB Harddrive.
Do any of these NOT mix well?
I also just upgraded my heatsink to a copper Global Win CAK38. Plus I have six fans on the case.
Can't copy a CD without a lock up, can't open a game, when I run SiSoft Sandra to test the CPU it crawls bad. I am very discouraged!
ANY SUGGESTIONS?

With the Athlons your power supply should be as a mimimum 300 watts. If your power supply is less check to see the recommended P/S <A HREF="http://www1.amd.com/athlon/power" target="_new">here</A> What operating system are you using?

I have a Antec SX-830 300 Watt.
