I'm going to be building my first pc here soon and I'm not sure which PS I should go with. So far here's the basic set-up:

ASUS A8N-SLi Deluxe nforce 4
AMD socket 939 Athlon 64 3500+
2x eVGA geforce 6600GT
2x 160GB harddrives
2GB PC4000 ram
WinXP


the rest is yet to be decided. From a little searching on newegg I've found the Antec TRUE-430 to be the best choice, but I don't see anywhere if it supports PCI-e, also will that be big enough to power all that? Any tips are greatly appreciated, thanks

Since your building a new system, I see no reason to not get one of the new Split Rail PSU's. Fortron Source makes a good Split Rail I thin its called the Blue Storm or something like that. One way to tell if a PSU is Split Rail or not is to look at the Specs and see if it has at least 2 +12V rails. The -12V doesnt count. The split rails are going to have somewhere close to 15AMPS on each of the 12V rails.
