What would you need to run an Epox EP-9NDA3J with a Athlon 64 3000+ Venice chip, 2 hard drives, 1 dvd burner. Would an Antec Truepower 330w be enough? If not what do you recommend?

The specs for the power supply are here PSU

Actually...that must be a newer revision, mine only has 17.0A on the +12V max.

You still didn't say what VC, but 17A is low anyways.
Since it won't post, the PSU would be my first guess. But it's possible you could have other issues also.
Get a little better PSU (350-400W with at least 22A @+12V). If you plant to OC heavily or upgrade in the near future, spend a little more and go 450-500W.

You didnt say what video card you will be running.

I have no problems with a 350watt HEC 20pin on my A64 setup.
