recently got a new system using this motherboard from asus
http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/so [...] erview.HTM

this is the first pc i've had that been built from scratch and considering its power requirments and whats mentioned here
(http://www.antec.com/us/pro_details_powerSupply.php?ProdID=24480)
on antec's site about its new "neo-power" psu's it made me wonder about what i need from a psu running a system like this, i do plan on getting one of the higher end x800's or 6800's making me all the more curious.

also, anything to worry about with the 775 prescotts and using arctic silver and the such? there shouldn't be but i wouldn't know. and has anyone seen any vendors carrying native PCIe enabled 6800ultraEE's? ty

any good 450+w should do the job, i read somewhere though that these mobo's have a few extra wierd power connections which alot of PSU's dont have.

2.6C @ 3.25G (Zalman 7000AU-ALCU HSF)
ABIT IC7-Max3
2x Kingmax SuperRam 512 DDR433
GeXcube 9800pro @ 450/750
80G Seagate S-ATA150
Antec Super Lanboy w/ 350 Smart Blue PSU

I think they're using standard 24-pin server type ATX power supplies, which Fortron Source sells as their 460W and 550W versions. And some boards can be ran with a 20-pin ATX power supply connected to that 24-pin connector.
