Bad choise, give it back while you wtill can, all seagate 7200.11 searies is fucked up, even their firmware upgrade does not help, more here: http://www.techpowerup.com/index.php?82331

Get WDC Black series drive (640GB for example) or Seagete 7200.12 with 1 platter 500GB series.

Why DVD-ROM when you have DVD-RW?

So, I am in doubt whether or not the Seasonic S12II 430W will do?
~20W max for motherboard
~45W max for CPU (TDP says 65W but people reported that it uses about 35-45W at most)
~8W max for RAM
~10W max for DVD
~10-15W max for HDD
~100W max for 9600GT

To sum up it will be about 200-250W max usage, so you need 350-450W PSU.

PCU gets maxumim efifcency at half of their power, for example if you get 430W, you will get highest PSU efficency at abou 215W usage.

Asus's BIOS supports that feature.
