Thats a cool case, 600w mid-range is more than ok i think. Why spend money on a psu/case that may even not work?
i worked at a computer shop and most of the times people bought good computers with those kind of cases (and i warned them everytime) just to be back the next day shopping for a new psu and sometimes also cases because some gpu´s don´t fit in those.
Just wait a bit more if you can..save the €€€

Thats all good i think..although im not sure about the "Cougar Solution with 500w psu". Those very cheap psu´s sometimes don´t have enough power for nice graphic cards...plus is always a good ideia to spend a little more on a well ventilated case and good psu, the whole pc just runs better/longer that way.
whats the pc for mostly?
