What MoBo are you using?

I have a GigaByte GA-7N400Pro2 and it has been suggested that the ideal PSU for mine is a 500W High qulaity one ( not just some generic brand ) to allow for optimal power flow and to help prevent overloads etc.

The pentium 4 sticker just means that it has an extra 12-volt lead.
