PC case and PSU help

[Mudit Sathe]

Currently I have-
AMD Athlon II X4 620
XFX GTS 250 1 gb
3 gb RAM
Ordinary PC Case
450 W PSU
So please suggest a good case for maintaining cooling and PSU to utilize its all fans.I live in India and at summer temp goes to about 35-40 Celsius.

I don't know what affordable cases that are available in India. But I would look for something similar to an Antec 900 - at least two front fans, a back fan, and a top fan.

The general rule of thumb is a high quality 500 to 550 watt power supply with sufficient current (amps) on the 12 volt rail(s) can easily power a system with any single video card made. A high quality 700 to 750 watt power supply with sufficient current (amps) on the 12 volt rail(s) can power a system with two video cards operating in dual mode. There are a few exceptions like the new ATI Radeon HD 5XXX series cards which use less power due to their energy efficiency.

Before purchasing a new psu you will need to decide whether you will eventually have a pc with one or two video cards.

Corsair, PC Power & Cooling, and Seasonic are some of the brands that have a reputation for high quality power supplies that consistently earn high marks in technical reviews. They are reliable, stable, and come with a 5 year warranty. Some of the newer models come with a 7 year warranty. Lately we've been seeing a few other brands offering some high quality units. An example would be the Antec Earthwatts series which is an improvement over Antec’s older series psu’s.

I have a OCZ power supply and I am very happy with it.

The cooler master Storm Scout is a fine fine case. Great cooling and looks
