You should always buy a good PSU. The one in that case might not cut it, dont risk it. Go with something like the Corsair 550VX
Its a proven PSU and is relatively cheap also. Pair that with a nice cheap Coolermaster case and you should be fine.

[ theres also a version of that case with a sidewindow but i believe its a bit more expensive]

u should pick the case, make sure u have at leas a 450 watt PSU.

also, u should pick the hard drive, cuz u are the one who needs the space

for $40 more u can get a HD3850 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814129101

That looks like a good setup.

That case you listed holyjunk looks good in screen shots, but when I was checking it out a few days ago up close, it was a bit too plasticky for my tastes. Good from afar, but far from good.
