1. I replace the broke stock one with one of these www.zumaxpower.com cool features and lights too hehehehe
2. I'd recommend a 650w or 600w PSU. You've got a powerful video card, and 4 gb of ram. Also, can I suggest, I wasn't there to answer your first question: The 4gb/32bit Vista isn't a smart combo. Vista will only recognize about 3gb of it. So, if you really need the extra memory, get 64bit, and if not, then get 2-3 gb ram and I'd also suggest getting Vista Home Premium (More graphics options, you can make it look more attractice such as the Aero theme with transparencies and colors.)
3. I actually answered this question in your other question too. You card requires 450 watt, but that is a minimum. Go with as big as you can afford. At least 500 watts, 650 or 700 would be even better especially if you think you might swap motherboards later down the road or even now and run two graphic cards in sli configuration in the near future. Two cards are very powerful AND require alot more power that the 500 would not be able to supply or if it did would stress it more than you would want.
4. Go for Intel Core2Quad with Cooler Master 850 Watts Real Power Pro & Vista Sucks... OR GO FOR PS3 with THX Certified Speakers---Best Of d Best Deal
