I just ordered this board with other parts:
Athlon64 3400+
MSI K8N Neo Platinum
1g corsair
430w Antec (already own)
DVD-/+RW
DVD-Rom
eVGA 6800GT (already own)
3.5" floppy
Samsung 160g HD

Question is do you think my Antec will be enough for this board? I'm hearing people that say you should get a psu 24a on the 12V line....my psu only has 20a....anyone have a similar set up? I'm getting nervous this will not posts or something when i throw it together.

I have almost the same computer as you except a A64 3200+, a cd-r instead of dvd-r, a seagate 160gb, and a audigy 2zs card and a winfast TV2000xp expert. The antec 430W has not given me any trouble at all.

I have the system below and it runs perfectly. I even have 3 LED fans, and 2 12" blacklights, and a CoolerMaster fan controller. Runs perfectly, you won't have a problem.

Hi FiberoN!

I need a VERY BIG favor from you!

I can see that part of your system's configuration is an ati radeon X800 pro and a msi k8n neo platinum motherboard right? Well, this is the big favor that I need.... I recently bought the exact parts, with and amd athlon 64 3200+ and 1 Gb DDR ram and blablablabla.... but I can't get my X800 to work with the motherboard... I've read in some places that there's no support for this video card in that main board, in fact MSI have no tests with both of them.... so I thought that I'll have to return the ati and get another such as 9800XT or something like that, but I don't want to... I really like the X800 :D

The thing is that I installed the card and when I turn on my computer everything looks terrible.... you can't really see nothing on the screen, there's colored blocks everywhere.... something's not good there... so... do you had any problem with those two or it's just me and the thing is that my video card is wreck?

Well... thank you, or any other who can help me!

Note: I've already updated my bios to 1.4 version with the msi live update.
