hey guys, iam thinking about getting a sata drive. this is the one i got my eye on for the moment:

Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 300GB SATA W/ NCQ 7200RPM 8MB 8MS Hard Drive 5 Year MFR Warranty

But i do have a few questions.

Will this be compatible with my mobo (A7N8X)?

And also, I will be using this hard drive as my main hard drive (os and programs), but i also have another 2 hd's: 120 gb seagate, and a 200gb maxtor. Right now i have a 430 watt thermaltake pure power, and iam probably going to upgrade my video card to a 7800gs at the summertime, would the ps be able to support all that?

Thanks in advance

Yes, it is compatible (Assuming you have the Deluxe board).

Does your PS have the SATA connector?

That PSU should hold up fine for your current rig with a 7800GS since your processor is drawing from the +5v line. That leaves most of the +12v line empty.

I have the Same Motherboard in my secondary system and it will be able to use those Hard drives with out a problem, just wont run them as SATAII. As for Power You shouldnt have a problem so long as its a quality PSU.
