I second the atleast 300w power supply motion. Its for upgradeability in the future. If you want to add another drive, or a dvd-burner or something like that, you may need more power. Any reason why you like the biostar brand so much? I don't think they make very good boards, as I haven't had very good experience with them. Otherwise, make sure you get atleast half a gig of ddr memory and you should be set.
