Wattage is only a measure of power used and in the case of power
supplies what they are supposed to be capable of delivering.A good
Quality 300w power supply will deliver it's rated power even under
full load.A cheap one won't.

That's not a proper model number for the mobo.
Most Gigabytes with the KT400A chipset have
a NIC on the mobo, and all of them that have SATA.
Use a 400 watt supply in a large case.

A true power 430? Yes, that should be more than enough.

Then that definitely has a NIC onboard.
The 430 Antec should be fine, but you do realize
that you've assembled a very sophisticated
bleeding edge system, with a ton of parts?
Are you really prepared to trouble shoot this when it doesn't boot?

That's a lot of money for someone new to this. Take a stroll through
this
newsgroup and see how many people have problems with new systems.
You have no experience, and it would seem no skills, based on your
questions. You should consider having someone else build this for
you.

In the past 7 years that I've been using computers, I have done everything
except install a mobo&psu&agp card in a case. I've done everything else.

Hopefully I can do it.

I've never built a PC before. What could go wrong?
Total cost is £1,257 including two Philips 19" monitors, check the
full spec
at:
http://freddoo.netfirms.com/new_pc.htm

BTW, How many power connectors are usally available in a PSU since
it
doesn't seem to say how many there
are available in the spec and i'll be installing 3 hard drives and 2
optical
drives:

TIA!
