Hi,

I want to build a pc fast enough to play high def video. Should I decide what case or what motherboard to get first? I already have an ATX case with power supply, shall I just use that? I'm open to any other sggestions too. Thanks

a standard midtower should work fine, unless you plan on getting a 8800gtx which needs a larger case.

figure out all the parts you will need/want and then get a power supply that fits, if the one you have that doesnt work, and then decide on a case.

Also, what are you looking for? Large room and expandability? Quiet? Looks? Good airflow? Price? These are all factors you will need to consider before a case purchase.
