Power Supply [RESOLVED]
As you all may know, I'm building my own PC (I've posted on here several times about this) My latest (and final) question is reguarding how big of a power supply I will need. My future computer is looking like this:
Intel D865GBF i865G P4 800FSB Skt478 DDR ATX Motherboard
P4 Intel 3.0 GHz Processer
256MB ABIT RADEON R9600 (Cheap Card, I know)
2 fans (hopefully)
1 GB of RAM
Mouse, Keyboard
120 GB HDD
12 X DVD-ROM Drive
48X ? CD-RW Drive
And maybe a few USB devices
I tried the goosehump's super genius XXX l33t PSU calculator, but it doesn't go up to 3.0 GHz processors, so now I'm stuck, how big of a power supply would you reccomend?
Also, can you reccomend a good site to buy cases that have (2) fans and power supply included, and ones that look like traditional cases, not the "Alien Ware" or anything weird?
Thanks in Advance

ABIT is good.

I'm thinking that 350 W should be enough to handle all of this, or should I go for a 400 W case?

350 would probably do fine. Could probably even get by with a 300. Depends if you're planning to expand.
As for a case, I have a Codegen(CASE-9011C10), it's pretty cheap and does the job.

I'm going for at least a 350W, just making sure I don't have to go any higher

I have 340W and I have a:
1900 MP
1Gb Ram
120Gb HD
200Gb HD
48X CD Burner
4X DVD burner
ATI Radeon 9800 PRO
2 screens
3 fans
2 Firewire ports for Digi Cam
6USB 2.0 ports (with wheel/pedals, scanner/printer/mem card reader/digicam/pocketPC)
and a lot of other unusfull stuff. So I guess you can manage with a 350W too....
