How many W should the power supply be?

I chose a motherboard specifically to have eSATA and Firewire (I use both). Does that mean I need to buy a case with eSATA and Firewire ports as well? Or will the ports be on the I/O Rear and the case ports on the front? Or does the fact that the motherboard has 1 eSATA mean it can only make one connection from the board to the port on the case?

Oh and will I need a fan?

Newegg shows that Foxconn board as having the eSATA and FW ports on the rear I/O panel. With that case I'd get another, more powerful 120mm fan to replace the rear one Coolermaster fit which is at best, weak. Make sure it's quiet though as the rest of them are fairly quiet.
 
Thanks. Still a little confused about the case having esata port and firewire ports. I'm assuming my motherboard will have to support the case's esata and firewire port. So if the motherboard already has a esata and fw port on the I/O panel.. then there isn't a spare to hook up to the case ports. Correct?

And still unclear on how to decide what power supply I need.

That sentence is HILARIOUS, IF IT COMES OUT CHEAPER HAHAHA! Stop looking now I am telling you if you make it IT IS cheaper.

That isn't always true. There are some computers pre-built that come out to be cheaper than if you bought all the items separately. Generally happens when the computer costs <800 or something like that :P
