I'm looking to build a new computer with the following parts:

Motherboard : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813138272

GPU : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814130256

Processor : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103562

Hard-drive : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16822148105

RAM : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227210

DVD Burner : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827135063

Floppy : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16821103203

Case and PSU : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811144125


My main question is will the 500W power supply that comes with the case be good enough for this system?

Also, do Dual Core processors consume much power compared to a single processor (I'm comparing a 3800+ X2 with just a 3800+)?

And when the video card states that it needs a 450W minimum power supply, does that encompass all of the other aspects of the computer or JUST the video card?

If you think I should get a separate case and PSU, do you have any recommendations as to where I can cut corners on this system to help afford the extra costs?

Thanks for the help.
 
Thats a great motherboard if you're on a budget, but if you can afford it I would get the dfi lanparty ut nf4 ultra-d instead.
 
That MOBO is the one im looking at. It seems really nice in all the reviews. I'd say stick with it.
