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!
