Ok, well i am building a $900 gaming PC and i need a case. I was thinking this...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811240001

The PC Specs...

CPU: Q6600
GPU: 8800GT
MOBO: Asus PN5-D
HDD: 250GB; 7200RPM
RAM: Crucial Ballistix

And; Would this Power Supply be enough for this system?

Thanks in Advanced,
Townshiplax07

Not sure about that PSU one bit. Almost definitely worth avoiding!

i agree, avoid. the power supply MIGHT be enough, but that case is cheap and crappy

Definately, that case is junk and that PSU is junk. I see, however, that price is a problem, but luckily I'm here help. Buy a nice Cooler Master case, preferably a 690, and be happy:

Now a decent PSU for a good price:

That is the absolute least amount of money you can spend and still have a good case and a PSU that is not on fire. If you want some fans later here are some cheaper ones that are high quality too:

I agree with all of the above (except Mrs. B; sorry, the reviewer has an 8600GT, not 8800GT). The image is blurry, but that cheap PSU (Phlame Sending Unit) looks like it has a single +12V rail with 16A.

No problem, we know this stuff because it is our hobby or one of our hobbies, and most of us have no lives...
