Such heavy prices in australia, i think maybe you should pick the case yourself, thats the one thing i dont like to pick for other ppl since it s apreference thing. Included AMD cpu becouse i7 was so damn expensive. I BELIEVE 620W antec is enough, if not use leftover money for that or for future ram/storage upgrade.
