Daniel, no one seems to give you a simple straight answer.

Because there is no such animal with his questions.
If they can't dazzle you with brilliance, they'll baffle you with bullshit it seems.

Or have enough of a clue to realise that the original questions are unanswerable.

It makes a hell of a difference whether its an AMD cpu or not for starters.
Buy an Antec TPII 550 Watt and be done.

And that is a terminally stupid answer to his original questions.
It comes with a Warranty on the off chance that anything might flake up. Compatible with old
stuff and has the new 12 Volt rails for newer systems and I doubt you'll need anything more than
this. Look for deals, coupons and rebates as other have suggested and be done. Supports new SATA
if you want too?, it has everything you will need for whatever system.

Except even Antec specs it at a lower MTBF than most good
PSU - 80k hrs. @ 25C. It is commonly held that electronics
lifespan tends to be cut in half per each 10C temp rise, so
the more typical internal temp of 45C, not 25C, would result
in closer to 2.3 years of continuous use.

What matters much more is the the cpu.

Right now I have a Barton 2500+ but in about 14 months, I plan to
upgrade to the AMD CPU that has the most performance for the money.
I will probably get the third or fourth fastest CPU they make.

Then the power the drives take can be ignored, just concentrate on
what the cpu and video card if you go for a plug in video card takes.
