Hi i currently have an Asus p4p800-e deluxe, 3ghz p4(overclocked to 3.6), a thermaltake bigwater cooler, 1gig rami forgot wat make, 256mb nvidia geforce 5500, 2 maxtor HD(40g and 160g), one sony DRu-810A,, couple of fans. what kind of power supply would you guys recomend me to use, how many watts? cuss i had a 650w Chiefmax power supply which blew up yesterday after i used it for only a couples of months. thank you in advance

How many watts and what brand?
is it because i OC it 2much, if so how much should i over clock it 2? tat is safe for my PSU
 
i did, but im not sure wat is wrong wit my comp, it jus tat i saw smokes comin out of my PSU so i think i need 2 replace it with a better one so any1 have any suggestion?
 
Well if there is smoke coming out of the PSU...then yes you need to replace it, and that prabally means you got a cheap one. I would suggest getting a PSU with 450watts+ and 30A on the 12+rail if you want a REALLY good psu. one with 2 12+rails would also be good and wouldn;t need to be as many A each.

IMO you shouldn't overclock your P4 at all.

And yes the one in that link could Easily power your PC, you could even do lower if you wanted, butt hat should last you a long time for future uprgade's and everything.
