Cool Suggestions

I'm building a system I was wondering if anybody could make a few suggestions. I'm starting out with a ASUS M4A88T MB, I think im going to go with 8gb Memory my question is how much wattage(power supply) should I use for this board and any suggestions for HDD and Video?

Also it will help to know how much you plan to spend on the hdd and video card. Or if you dont have a budget in mind, it would help to know if you're looking for high end unit, mid range unit , or if would like to keep cost to a minimum.

With the rest of the information we can then get to reccomending a power supply. Or at least give you an idea of how much power you will need. The psu needed depends largely on the video card used. And the video card suggestios depends on what you want to do and how much you want to spend.
