Any new psu work. SATA is only optional.

And if that P4 processor is socket 775 than yes you have a working package.

Ps. Putting it together yourself?

The spec requirements for the graphics card says it needs an adjacent pci slot? what does that mean?

I'm not getting a p4 i already have one anyway turns out my socket is 478 so does that mean i have to get a 775 socket cpu?

maybe, is it too hard to put in a cpu?

I know an army fella that deals with pc's so im sure he would help

btw looks like yes im gonna have to get a cpu to make it work so im gonna go for http://www.komplett.ie/k/kl.asp?bn=10491 3.4 Pentium D

Yuor cpu and MoBo have to be the same socket. So if you plan on using you 478, you better get a different board.

Also, if you get a 775, and want to have a aftermarket heatsink, instal it now because if you want to do it later, you will have to remove the MoBo from your case.
