How much power?

[Shpappy]

I'm planning to build a high-end system here pretty soon. With case mods and lights. The processor is going to be a Athlon 3000+ XP. How much power should I need?

Also, what is a good mobo for the 3000+ XP 400FSB?

There's no reason, on a new build, to start with anything less than 400W.

I would also recommend a PSU with at least 400 Watt.

Could get the Thermaltake 420wt PFC PSU for a good price now. Pretty much most mobos with nforce2 chipset would be good for the CPU. Could get the ASUS A7N8X Deluxe rev 2, just dont plan on OCing beyond 400fsb with dual channel mode on.

Barton 2500+ @ 2200mhz (10x220 vcore @ 1.775)
Asus A7N8X Dlx 440 FSB
1gb Geil GD pc3500 Dual Channel (2-3-3-6)
Segata 80gb SATA 8.5ms seek
