I am gonna build my first computer pretty soon and i need a suggestion for the power supply that i will need. I am going with a 3.06 ghz 800fsb Pentium 4 processor, with a radeon 9500 pro gfx card, santa cruz sound card, 2 HDD one 20 gb the other 40 gb, and a DVD drive, CD burner drive. Any suggestions? I found a nice case with a 500 W power supply on ebay and i think i am gonna get it. i just wanna make sure 500 W is sufficient. Thanks for the help guys.

Go for it. 350W would be ok too but the extra 150W will allow more stuff later.

3.0 you mean... not 3.06 (that's the 533FSB one). I suggest something higher - a 430W Antec Truepower. Solid and powerful - don't feed your system cheap power.
