That was my lack of computer building knowledge speaking. Sorry.

What was the point in posting it then?

To the op, I had that case for a while. It's a hassle to work with on the inside, and has some pretty bad airflow. Not to mention that the psus that come with cases almost always die, I know mine did ( ._.) You'll be spending some more money on a separate psu, but it's worth every penny.

I was wondering about that. Thanks for the info, I'll get separates.

Case suggestion: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042

It doesn't have a side window or led fans, but this case has really good airflow (room for 4x 120mm fans I believe, and 1x 140mm), and is pretty open on the inside.

As for a psu, this should be good: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004. Corsair always makes great psus, and 550w should be good unless you plan on upgrading a lot in the future.

Get a Corsair PSU, 450W would suffice for that build. If you plan on upgrading the video card in the future, go with a 550W.

I'll probably get this case, along with a 450 corsair (I don't plan on upgrading this for a looooong while)
