Buying New Parts and needing help with compat

[imported_Kainz]

Hi, I'm planning on buying the following parts and wondering if they would all be compatible.
AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 512KB L2 Cache 64-bit Processor
ENERMAX Aluminum (SILVER + an additional Black Aluminum front face plate) Multifunction Panel
Kingston 184 Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200
MSI nForce3 250 Chipset Motherboard for AMD Athlon 64 Socket 754 CPU, Model "K8N Neo Platinum"
Aspire 520W 12V Black Triple Fan Aluminum Power Supply
ASPIRE Turbo Case X-Dreamer Black Mid-Tower Case with 350W Power Supply
Thermaltake "Blue-Eye" High Performance 80mm LED Case Fan (4 of these)

I Have the following video card: Sapphire Radeon 9600 256mb 8xAGP
Hard Drive: Western Digital 120gb 7200rpm
I also have 2 case fans but I dont remember what brand they are.

my main question is, would any power supply work with an AMD cpu? because P4's need a P4 ready powersupply.. I'd really appreciate it if you respond. Thank you for your time.


Sincerely,
Kainz

"P4 ready" PSUs simply conform to the latest ATX12V standards. The Athlon 64 requires ATX12V as well. The PSU you have selected... I haven't heard much about the name, so I to be safe I'd recommend an Antec/Enermax/etc.

Do you really need four fans? That will be quite loud and that kind of cooling isn't necessary. Try and get something with 120mm fans.

What is this "multifuntion panel" for? Probably not needed.

Double your RAM if you want to game, though maybe that's not the case if you have a 9600.

I know people around here seem to have had a good number of issues with MSI boards, so maybe consider the Chaintech, Epox, or Soltek NF3 250 boards for a budget, or the DFI for superior overclocking (not that the budget boards can't OC well in their own right).

would a thermaltake psu be ok or are they bad? I read reviews about msi and people say that they are very good. But you all seem to know what you are doing on these forums. One thing about my fan system.. I would like 2 have a nice and cool room aswell, since my room is always hot and no air circulates to it. Thank you for your help.
