Thinking of building a new computer primarily for 3d graphics work. Though I intend to do some gaming on it. I don't intend to overclock anything. Stability is more important. Probably going to put Vista 64 business on this, but a little hesitant. Most likely going to get everything from Newegg. Most of it I'm pretty solid on.

The big thing I don't know about is the motherboard. I'm looking for something that can support the 9300 and needs to do raid fairly well and have at least 6 sata ports. And obviously the better performing the better. I had been looking at the msi p6n diamond, but I'm not really sure.
The other two things I need to know...Is the 400w PS in the case sufficient for this type of setup? Are Lite-on DVD burners still considered good?
thanks.
