Ok. I have everything listed below in my Newegg shopping cart and I'm just about ready to checkout. The 550w Corsair is sold out at Newegg and more expensive everywhere else.

I think I'm good with everything except the case - some of the suggestions only had 1 fan, and I thought that might not be best even though I don't plan to do any overclocking. I like the look of the one below and the fact that it's supposedly a tool less assembly. However, it apparently has no removeable motherboard tray, and I don't know if that's a big deal. Again, I'm not planning on doing any mods or upgrades for a while. A final compatibility blessing or tell me if the case is bad please!

Everything you listed should work together. Get the Antec 300 Illusion model. You will need it with that 4890!

Thanks for the reply. Are you saying I need that case for space or cooling reasons? Or both?

Is there a difference between that case and the regular Antec 300 other than appearance?
