i would save some money on a lesser PSU and get a full tower
get a sata 6 drive since your motherboard supports it , not a sata 3

I don't understand. Isn't SATA II is (3Gb/s) and SATA III is (6Gb/s)? Correct me If I'm wrong.

The coolermaster scout is a good value case so stick with it just buy a SATA III hdd and not a SATA II.

You are correct sir.

You are correct sir.

That what I've read about, Actually I'm just making it sure that every statement taken into account in this forum is correct and not to mislead PC enthusiasts like me and others. Thank you.

Sorry I do not understand what you'd mean by that, do you mind explaining? That statement. Sorry I'm a noob in computer "stuff".

The above uses the latest SATA III interface running at a theoretical 6gb/s
Rather than the old interface SATA II running at a theoretical 3gb/s
