I would say yes. mATX PSUs are usually high quality, though low wattage.

Thats what I was figuring but I needed someone else to say it too because I'm pretty sure Antec would make their cases be able to handle today's components.

Also, this case won't need any extra cooling than it already has will it?

It has one intake from case to psu then I presume an outtake from psu to outside case. It has space for a 40mm fan though...

Remember, everything is integrated so no video card heat, main heat source will be HD and CPU.

I would get at least one extra exhaust fan for that.

That PSU should be fine for your needs.

Why? Nothing in that is really going to be generating heat. I've run a P4 1.7 with a 60GB drive and a Radeon VE with a PSU with only one fan and no case fan. I mean, if there is something generating the heat, sure, I'll get the 40mm fan, but otherwise I need a reason to get it.

I would have to say yes on the PSU being ok. Monitor temps in the case for a while before determining if you need another fan or not. Remember, Intel procs have thermal throttling to keep them safe from overheating. Worse that could happen is it slows/shuts down.

Ok, thanks!
