If I buy the abovementioned + a DVD-RW (LGGSA-4167RB, Samasung SP2154N
(250GB DMA/133), TwinMOS 2*512MB Dual Channel KIt DDR3200 CL2.5 , NO gfx
card so far (maybe a nF6600GT later)..

is the included SP350 350W PSU in an Antec SLK1650BEC/MT's enough??

(No heavy use, the heaviest being playing Diablo2 LOD)

I'm looking seriously at a similar setup, powered by the 380W True Power PS
in my Antec Sonata case. Don't know if it will run everything, but it might.
I should think not having to power a separate vidcard should save some
watts, yes? Worse comes to worse, you can just put a True Power 430w (or
similar) in your case.
 
And for CPU that page knows only about Intel....

Try this one:

What you will discover, is generally speaking only the +12V
rail is critical. With the ATX version 2 supplies and the
split 12V1/12V2 rails, you'll also have to remember to
split the current listed on the page appropriately. If your
supply has only one 12V output, then it supplies all the 12V
power. If you have a ATX 2 version supply, it has the power
split into two circuits, so the CPU current is provided by
12V2 and the rest of the load is on 12V1.

There is a picture of the label on the side of the power supply
here. SP350: 5V@21A 3.3V@22A 12V1@10A 12V2@15A [email protected] +5VSB@2A

15A for the CPU should be plenty. That leaves working out the
load on the remaining 10 amp output.

Here is a reference document for a ATX 2 power supply.

12V1 is motherboard (video card, fan headers) plus drives.
12V2 is the CPU.

This article has the right idea, except they may be confusing
the purpose of 12V1 and 12V2. The definition on the formfactors
site is what I use, as the power supply manufacturers refuse to
verify which is which for us.

If you look above the selections, in a blue rectangle is listed: AMD,
INTEL, SERVERS. If you click on AMD, you have a selection of AMD
processors to choose from. If you need more help don't be hesitate to
ask.
 
Sorry, it went past my eyes...
