I'm a beginner to computer building, and i'm a bit worried about an antec 430W truepower supply powering some of these hogs:

ASUS "P4C800-E DELUXE" i875P Chipset Motherboard for Intel Socket 478 CPU -RETAIL
ATI RADEON 9800PRO Video Card, 128MB DDR, 256-bit, DVI/TV-Out, 8X AGP -RETAIL
Intel Pentium 4/ 3.0C GHz 800MHz FSB, 512KB L2 Cache, Hyper Threading Technology - Retail

I'm looking (www.newegg.com) at the ANTEC Performance Plus Case with 430W Power Supply, Model "PLUS1080AMG". I assume that it has the truepower supply which i *hear* is good. Is it enough though, to run that mobo/processor/video card combo?

Any insight/info on these issues would be greatly appreciated. I'm open to all suggestions.
Kind Regards,
matt lewis

ya, that will definitely cut it. even a strong 300W psu will be able to support it all your needs if you dont oc.

You didn't mention any drives or fans, but the TP430 can handle that and a lot more.

You'll do fine, m. Unless you're planning on adding a LOT of stuff in the near future AND a 6800 Ultra.

Buy it....
Considering that is already has a $66 PS, 40 bucks is a steal for the rest! :)

430w is fine if you don't plan on overclocking. i had antec 480w PSU and had problems with stable rails when overclocking however it ran fine at default speed with 9800 pro, 2 hd, dvd+-/r burner, etc.
