Question Need any help / suggestions on choosing proper case please.

Hi everyone,

I have a
" HP Media Center m1270n Desktop PC "
with
" ASUS PTGD1-LA (motherboard) "

I am interested in replacing the ugly HP case with something a little more eye catching but have no idea what cases are compatible. I'm also replacing the video card with a " BFG GeForce 8600GT OC 565MHZ 256MB " most likely but haven't purchased it yet. I'm not sure if that video card is compatible as i'm what you would call a noob to this. Any suggestions on what kind of case to get that all this would fit in or maybe some "NCIX" cases would be very much appreciated.

the ASUS PTGD1-LA is a standard ATX mobo, so it should be fine with ATX cases.

okay, I noticed people aren't very friendly with cases that come with a PSU. I will need bigger PSU either way and this is the cheaper way it seems. Is there any cases you guys would recommend?

Gigabyte 3d aurora 570 full tower, eye catching with lot of space for modifications and decor.But you have to purchase PSU separately, hence you can still choose which you feel suitable to your specs and usage.
