Without knowing what model and brand it is I can't tell you. Most power supplies that come with cases are junk. Antec is an exception.

The case looks fine. They do not even list the power supply specs though so I would not trust it. Many cheap power supplies can not put out their rated voltage. So it may be listed as 600 watts and only be capable of supplying 300.

Answered your PM but I will post it again here.

It produces 25 amps on the 12v rail. Amps x volts = watts so your "600" watt power supply is only making 300 watts on the 12v rail. This is the most important part and where almost all the power is drawn from. If that was a quality power supply it would be labeled as 350 watts at most. A very good power supply would call that a 300w unit. Don't trust it as more than a 300w power supply.

Also there is no guarantee it can even put out 25 amps on the 12v rail. Most very cheap units can not put out what they are rated at.

Yes. Any 600w Corsair unit is fine.

Coolermaster has great cases. Antec, Corsair, Fractal Design, NZXT, Thermaltake.......there are so many good case makers. It's hard to recommend a specific model. Just find one you like then read some reviews about it and see if what you want will fit in it. Really the main thing is that you like it. You will have to look at it everyday!
