PSU for X-Navigator?

Hi,
I'm building a new gaming pc and the case I want to use is the ASPIRE X-Navigator. I've read that the stock psu often fails so I think I'm going to buy a better psu, but I don't know how many watts I would need, how manys pins the connector should be, etc. This is what I'm getting (everything else is going to be used from my current pc):

ASPIRE X-Navigator case
DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego cpu
eVGA Geforce 6800 256mb video card

I have 4 sticks of RAM (2x 256mb, 2x 512mb) and will be running at least the five fans that come with the case. Can anyone recommend a good, cost-effective PSU that will run this set up and still be able to support it once I upgrade some more? Thanks.
 
I am currently using an Antec Smartpower 2.0 400 watt. It has dual 12v rails and a total of 29A on the 12v. It will more than power your rig. I bought it for $70 at a local retial store. Newegg has them for a little less I think. I have 11 fans in all (counting every single fan) and plently of other things. The voltage readings never go below standard.
