Will this case suffice?

It has the PSU included but idk if it is good enough for the system, can anyone explain? If not any suggestions on a better case/PSu combo?

Aspire is known to be problamatic. It will work with a low-end videocard, but it could also start a fire as some have.

Well, it might be able to power the components you chose, especially since the Core2Duo isn't all that power hungry, however I personally don't trust the PS's in case/power supply combos that combined cost less than a decent power supply alone.

It may work out for you, or it might not. I would stongly recommend looking into a nicer Seasonic, Antec or Fortron Power Supply though.

when I build my systems I generally leave in the neighborhood of $100 in the budget just for the power supply.

This is not going to be any help I don't think but I was actually looking at that same case for my new system (not bought yet waiting for bugs to get worked out of the conroe m/b's plus no cash right now) but I have switched and I am lookin at getting the Armor from ThermalTake. From what I have read in most every forum I can find it is a common tip to buy a case with no power supply and buy one seperatly. Mostly because the common opinion is that the PS that come with most cases are crap. I cant speak to that since I have had the same case and power supply for close to 6 years (got a local computer builder to build it for me and as far as I know it is the PS that came with the case) From the look of the items you have chosen depending on what vid card you are going to run I wouldn't see why 420W wouldn't be enough although I can't comment on the quality of the PS that comes with that case. They have some very nice 500W PS for not to much $$ I can't offer any suggestions on brands since again my rig is 6 years old but check some of the other threads on PS and they could point you in the right direction.

You may want something like
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104954 - FSP 450w
or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817189005 -0 Xclio 500w

It is a good case though.

I agree with the rest, buy a good power supply. I might also suggest you get a seagate with perpendicular recording, its usually 7200.10 rpm.

Oh I didn't notice my video card had gone missing from the build, seems New Egg doesn't have it on the site at all anymore.

I put another video card on there now.

Personally, id recommend this case.

I'm not an EE. But if a system is drawing too much power for the PSU to handle, the PSU will fail rather than all the expensive boards?

One of the worst things you can do to electronic components is under-power them.

I agree with conroe, defintely never skimp on the powersupply. I ordered that exact Forton Source powersupply for a friend of mine and his x800GTO works dandy with it. Dual +12V rails for 48 bucks? Good deal. I dont know about the Xclio, but if your up to it, that would be a good choice too. Stock PSUs are most of the time garbage. Stock antec ones, are actually pretty decent and reliable I must say.

Good luck.

I also agree w/ the consus that the bundled PSU is trash. I recently used this case / PSU combination, IMO was excellent for the price:

Antec TPII-480 BLUE $61 shipped
COOLER MASTER Centurion RC-531-KKN1 $40 shipped

The FSP and the Xclio are also good choices as well. I used that FSP AX450-PN for my son's game box and it is a great unit.

The Antec's Sonata II w/ smartpower SP-450 450w PSU it is also a good value at $104 shipped, it's a very quiet case and excellent quality.

Thanks for the tips.
