Not related to your question, but you do realize that the ASUS motherboard you purchased is NOT COMPATIBLE with a P4 processor?

Anyway, the power supply depends on how many devices you will be connecting and the power needed to run them. Most important things to consider:
1. Wattage
2. Rail Output
3. Brand

You have not listed the rest of your computer specs, so I cannot give a full opinion on this. However, it's a good idea to get a PSU 350w AT MINIMUM!
