Building my first PC - will this case/PSU work?

[Kipa]

Thanks for checkin out my question. Below is the box I'm about to order (my first build). My question is I'm having a hard time determining whether the case I'm considering and the related PSU is adequate. I probably won't overclock (at least initially until I get more educated on the subject), but might want to in the future. Next question is how many fans to use? The case comes with 2 and the PSU has 2, but the case has room for more. All of the products below I found at newegg.com, btw. The box will mainly be used for heavy gaming. Please give me a little advice about the case/PSU. Also, I'd love any comments about the rest of the box as well (compatability issues or anything that might work better). Thanks in advance for your advice.

I will also be throwing in my 52x HP CD-Rom and 8/4/32 HP CDRW from my old box for now. Initially I will use the on-board sound, but may add a sound card (SB Audigy) depending on the performance of the on-board audio.

Looks like a good setup so far. Case is very solid and will handle anything you throw at it. Power supply is plenty big too.

Standard Fan(s): 1 X 80mm (rear)
Optional Fan(s): 2 X 80mm (front)

Run fans in all 3 locations with air intake in the front flowing through and out the back. I believe there is a fan on the side panel also.

Seems fine with an excellent case and good PSU. Also, I would considering populating all the fan openings with low speed fans if there are extra opening.

Don't those cases have 2 fans in the rear? II thought Antecs were like the cheiftec, or is this one different? 😕

the antec 6xx series has only 1 rear fan. 8xx and up all have 2 rear fans standard.
