Need help getting a new PSU

This is my current build:

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (Winchester)
Li PC-65B Case
Seasonic 400W Super Tornado
MSI "K8N Neo4 Platinum" NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra Chipset
1 GB DDR (400) PC-3200 Patriot Extreme Performance
Western Digital Raptor WD740GD 74GB
Seagate 160GB Barracuda
PLEXTOR Black SATA DVD Burner Model PX-716SA/SW
Sapphire Radeon X850 XT PCI Express

Right now I'm experiencing the problem with its constant randomly restarting (usually happens when I'm running a bunch of programs at once, or a high memory game). I heard its because the PSU I'm using isn't powerful enough for my build. I just got an antec one with the right amount of power, but when my friend went to install it, apprantly it wouldn't fit the motherboard, I guess the connections were too big for what the motherboard had or something. Does anyone know a PSU that will have plenty of power fo r this build that will DEFINETELY fit the motherboard I have? Thnx for the help =)

I just ordered an Enermax noisetaker 420 watt power supply. The 420 watt model has a 20/24 main connector. So, it can fit on a 20 pin mobo or a 24 pin mobo.
And, it's PCI-E ready and SATA ready. Good reviews and comments everywhere for the Enermax noisetaker psus. There are more powerful models but I think they're all 24 pin (newer) models. (I got a socket A mobo with 20 pin. I will upgrade to another one when UT2007 comes out.)
