The graphics card i am looking at says it needs - ATX v2.0 compliant PSU will a ATX v2.1 be ok ?

Yes you will be ok with ATX v2.1 it is a newer version of a power supply that the v2.1 standard specifies must have 2 seperate 12v rails.

The somewhat older ATX v2.0 but still widely used to day has only 1 12v rail

What graghics card and what psu are you planning on, I am interested only because these newr video cards need good stable power on all the rails and I would like to make sure you are using a good name brand psu because even though the psu is v2.1 compliant doesn't mean its quality

The graphics card will be

Leadtek WinFast GeForce 6800 256MB DDR TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express)
http://www.overclock...PCI_Series.html (top one)

and the power supply will be the one supplied with the Antec Sonata II

You will be ok with that power supply but I prefer the True power line of Antec Psu's but because you get it with the case I would use it.
