So I need a case that can fit this mobo, with space for the PCI slots etc. It doesn't have to be pretty; the most important things are low cost, ease of use, and enough space to do future additions/upgrades.

Also: If I plan to do some slight overclocking and eventually add another GPU, which power supply do I need?

Great! and under $80 would be preferable. basically as cheap as i can get away with without being flimsy or hard to work with. i dont need windows or anything.

Oh- but a couple USB and maybe a headphone jack on the front would be nice. any thoughts?
