Alright so, right now I've gotten all the parts arranged that I want to buy and the mobo is the main thing that's holding me back. Currently, I want to get the ASUS p5k deluxe(not the k3)with the p35 chipset but I'm still wondering will it be supported by directx 10, I heard elsewhere that any motherboard with a pci-e x16 slot will support directx 10. I had my doubt's because I've only seen this one place and I wanted a second opinion.
Secondly, from what I've heard the radeon 2900xt(more at the price range I want), has it's ups and downs. I have had great experience with radeon cards and still I want to keep on the same road, any personal feelings on this card?
Also, overall what would be a good wattage power supply with the following
intel e6600 duo core,
ASUS p5k deluxe
Radeon 2900xt
ocz DDR2 PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Dual Channel Memory

. As for the 2900XT, from what i've seen with the latest drivers it seems to be a nice buy. Equal to or better in most stuff than a 8800GTS, for the same price (640MiB gts).

). Games that tend to be highly pixelshaded do generally very well on the 2900XT, however Crysis has massively detailed textures etc, same for Bioshock -- I guess there will be ups and downs for 2900XT performance there: because of the limited texture back ends but powerful shader power.
.
-- but hopefully someone will come along and give a few more pointers shortly


but it looks like antec are back on form & the £120 is relatively cheap for an 850w psu.
