Hey guys i am getting a new sytem from somewhere over the web. I'm looking for a solid p4 motherboard to go along with my p4 2.4B cpu and my 512 ddr ram, i'm probably going to put a radeon 9500 pro in there so i want AGP 8X. I dont necessarily want the top of the line motherboard, but one that is up there in performance and at the same time wont cost me a fortune. Right now im considering the ASUS P4S8X, the ABIT SR7-8X, or the GIGABYTE GA-8SG667. If there are any other mobos you recommend please let me know, thank you.

Also, How much power supply do i need for a system like this: is 300 enough
p4 2.4
512/333mhz ddr memory
40gb (7200rpm) hard drive
ati radeon 9500 pro
standard 2 speakers sytem
integrated audio

Is the standard 300W enough, i've heard ppl who have had a more powerful system running with 300W

Don't force yourself to AGP 8x. It won't make the slightest difference yet. None of today's games use that much bandwidth and the only one I can see using it is Doom 3 only is some places where it will only help slightly if you have the latest card at the time.
