Though been using computers for many years, I'm still a noob at computer building. So, please help me find a power supply that works with this motherboard. I'm not very familiar with power supplis and it's not an interesting component.

All has been done except for the computer case and the power supply. I'm not familiar with them. I've never touched them. So I need your help.

A Corsair 450W or 550W should power that just fine. They are both non modular so if you don't like having cables laying around inside the case, get a modular one such as the HX450 or HX520. Never ever buy a crap PSU if you care about your new hardware. Could only find the 550vx on newegg. I never use that site anyway so I'm probably doing something wrong =)

Remember your power supply is very important don't buy a cheap one ,corsair and PC power & cooling make good ones..ATX is what you want ,remember if you plan on sli you need more power 750Watt's is usually plenty of power.OCZ is pretty good too. I strongly recommend a better graphics card especially with a 24" monitor unless you don't mind playing games at lower settings.,you are building a gaming rig right ? 150.00 should buy you a decent card on sale. DirectX 11.0 card would be the way to go.Nvidia and ATI both make good cards ,remember SLI is for Nvidia and crossfire boards are for ATI cards only. you should be abled to find a better monitor cheaper than that and remember built in speakers usually always are very cheap sounding. Airflow is key when buying a case , extra fans a pull out motherboard and moveable hard drive bays are good features too have.I don't recommend a plastic case. OC'ing is quite easy if you have proper cooling and a good motherboard will really unlock your processors capability ,unlockable multipliers are nice too.After market heatsink is strongly recommended ,opened box items are cheap and the way to go . 4GB of RAM at least ,2GB will slow your performance on some games especially newer ones. Make sure you only buy RAM that is tested and recommended for your motherboard ! very important!!! dont go with what someone says will work make sure it's officialy on the list. My secound build feb 2009 , my budget rig . around a $ 1100.00 with free shipping rebates and no tax at Tiger direct,New egg Q9400 2.67 OC'd @3.6 GHZ__ P5Q pro turbo__Gskill 8500 4GB DDr2 @1066__Arctic freezer 7__750W Pc power & cooling__ XFX HD 4890 OC'd@900MHz /1000MHz __WD640GB cav blk__WD500GBext._ Lian-Li K7B case__2 LG drives__ Acer 24"1080p mon.H233H_ I can honestly say ive played alot of new games all at max settings without any lag on this midlevel system. good luck try www.overclockingwiki.com they like helping new builders .

Then what about the computer case? I'm not sure about the airflow.
