Thanks for the feedback, your suggestions are very helpful. I was worried about the PSU+Case, had trouble identifying a cost effective combination. I can see that the PSU you pointed out is a substantial improvement, even if it will be a tight squeeze into the case. I'll keep an eye on temp, and see if the stock case fans are effective.
