Specs of mobo:

Manual of mobo:

I also plan on purchasing the powercolor x800xl GPU. Which I know does not have a power connector on it.
Id appreciate any help in answering these qs.
1) The mobo has a power connector on the top left hand corner of the board. Can anyone confirm if this is a power connector to supply extra power to the x800xl? The manual says its a Auxiliary PEX power connector. Im not sure what that means.
2) A dual 12V power box will supply power for the CPU and video card via the 24 pin connector. In the manual; page 21, the power connector on the top left hand corner of the board also seems to require 12V. Im confused about this... so i have to buy a quad 12v power box?? or that power connector is for a 5V input supply? If yes, whats that 12V there for? To confuse people?
3) my system, 3200+ venice (dunno if the mobo supports this, so im gambling ), x800xl, 1 SATA HDD, 2 PATA HDD, 1 DVD+-RW, 1 CDROM, 1 Floppy Drive, 1 GB RAM.
any recos for a power supply that would be good for the above?
I have this choice till now:
