I'm doing my first build and i want to know if this power supply will be enough for what i'm running now and future upgrades like a better video card or replacing the hard drive for a bigger one or faster cpu. I'm getting a Emermax noisetaker series 420w model ($74.00) athlon 64 approved. to run:

1)athlon 64 3000
2)asusu "kav se delux" k8t800 mobo
3)corsair value select 512 mb
4)sapphire radeon 9600xt or 9800(regular) 256 bit
5)maxtor 40 gig hard drive
6)dvd rom and cd burner

Sould i maybe go with the 470 W power supply

You see the MTBF? That's a long life unit! Also, those things don't even go into overload protection until 600W load is reached, they're really powerfull.
