This is a very good psu. It will easily run your system. Much better than the Rosewill Rohan suggested in my opinion. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817103012
Looks like I'm going to be buying a new power supply. I think the one you (63083) suggested look good. I have a question, though. Do think it would work if I took out all of my hard drives and cd rom drives and put them in another computer? That way, my 280W power supply would just be used for the motherboard and the video card. The other peripherals, although attached via data cables, would be powered by a second computer. Granted that would make the computer twice as big...

Hmm, let's see.
1) Rosewill is a better known brand for low budget power supplies.
2) My power supply has more wattage.
3) My power supply has an 80 plus efficiency.
4) Mine has 4 12v rails
12V1@20A,+12V2@20A,
+12V3@20A, +12V4@20A
Actually, not to sound like a know-it-all, but you can actually run two power supplies in one system w/o needing another motherboard, etc...Plug it in and jump the ATX cables - The purple and black for most PSU's. Just put a conductive material in the pins to "complete" the circuit. That's all the motherboard does.
BUT - Having two different power supplies doesn't make for a very good system. It is HIGHLY recommended just to grab a new one. I would stick in the 400W region for future applications you might put it to. ThermalTake makes a good 430W. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1389575&CatId=1078
