I really just want a great computer with mid range price.
Will my PSU be fine? What if I get a cheaper 450 corsair, will that be ok too?

As for the case, I really wanted a cheaper one but unable to find one that's for ~40-50, but that 100 dollars case looks good.
I think that motherboard is good for what i'm putting on it. Really don't know too much about computers.

Are you crazy? The psu make is one of the best. It's more fine than fine.

400W minimum for a pc with that gpu, but next time you upgrade gpu, you'll probably have to upgrade the corsair 450w. So get one a bit bigger than required.

The 610W is enough for even crossfiring HD 4870.

The rest looks great.
 
Welcome to the forums!

Here is another good case.

You probably want a good cooler too:

don't forget to order the retention bracket because push pin mounting sucks.

Thanks for all the replies, I have the old dvd rom/rw i'll be using. I heard the 8800 gt is really good right now, but the 4850 is quite expensive. How much of an upgrade is it really and I'll be playing blizzard's game so it's not that graphic intensive. That's why i went with the 8800 in the first place.

What I was asking about the PSU was just wondering if there's an affordable, cheaper PSU that will still do the job, and do it well. I don't think my system will need more than 550watts, but the 610 is on sale.

I'll be sticking with the antec 900 for the case. I like the design and the already made cooling fans.

Corsair or Earthwatts are affordable. The thing is when you upgrade gpu, you may have to upgrade psu. Get the 610W and it'll last a while. My 1000W has been around for years. Still alive & kicking.

8800GT is fine for WoW, but Starcraft 3 may be taxing on gpu as we have seen the screenshots. HD4850 will last longer than 8800GT.
