I have spent 2-3 hours looking and though I would come to you for help. I am building a new pc and can't find the right case/power supply. I would like it to be a full case and 500 watts is the lowest I want to go. I don't care what it looks like but would like it to be functional and inexpensive. How low can I go and still have decent quality.

Any links/models would be appriciated. Can I do this under $200? $150?

Thanks.

For a case, if you don't care about the look, you should look at a case with something like 1 120mm intake, and 2X 120 mm exhaust, possibly one top one at the back.

It should be roomy and thats pretty much it!.

As far as the PSU we need the specs =)

Looked around a bit on newegg...
Pretty coo NZXTl - 75$

Anyway with a quick and dirty Calculator with mild oc, 100%TDP, 4 Hd, 4 USb, 3 120mm and so on, I get 354W.

So if you dont want to upgrade the video card, the Antec P150 for 150$ has a nice PSU that should be enough for your need. Nice case too!
