Ya, its ok, not really a high end set up, but at the low resolution of your monitor it will max out games. What do you mean by no case? You arent going to just set the parts on a table or something are you? Enermax isnt a very good power supply unit either.

yes.. ill just put it on the table and some nonconducting materials to put on.....

oh, i based good powersupplies from this website : http://www.10stripe.com/featured/psu/brand.php
and enermax is ranked 2nd after corsair under the recommended power supply category

No case really isnt a good idea for a long term set-up. There is just too much chance that something will fall on or in it, not to mention spills. I'll bet something happens to it in less than 6 months..probably a short, but hey it's your money. How you going to turn it off and on without a power switch?
