Upgrading my Mobo/CPU

[Scribbles]

Hey there, I got told by a friend to make a post here first to make sure I'm not making a horrible mistake by upgrading my Mobo and CPU and blowing my computer up.

I'm looking to upgrade my old Pentium 4 3.4 ghz processor to an AMD Dual Core 3ghz (Links provided below), but I'm also probably gonna pick myself up a new motherboard aswell (Links below)

I'm an IT student and I know how to install it all, but can anyone here see if there are any potentially hazardous problems that I've failed to see?

You are on the right track. But for all that work, I would also change the power supply.

Any personal opinion on which power supply then?

It's been something I've been meaning to look at for a while, since I've already had one blow up on me (Shop bought PC oh roffles) and had to get it replaced (Yay guarantee)

Antec, CoolerMaster, PC Power and Supply (the best, but expensive), Sparkle, FSB, Fortron, Thermaltake, Ultra V, Ultra XVS, Raidmax, Logisys, Apevia, VIA, Corsair, Xion Supernova, FSP, Group, Cool Max... there are many...
When you tear apart power supplies, you realize that most of the 129 brands and models are really made by less than 10 or 12 companies... and then marketed under a great number of names.
Power output is not nearly as important as steady output, which means you need a quality unit.
We have never had a Sparkle, or a FSP Group/Fortron or go bad, so we use them a great deal... But our favorites are made by PC Power and Cooling. When we become very rich, those are the only ones we will use.
