Case and power supply question...

[WangoZ]

I'm putting together a new system with this as the base:

Athlon 64 3200
MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R
OCZ PC-3200 DDR400 EL Dual Channel 2x512MB
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro

and some other stuff...Question is...I saw this Case and power supply and am not sure it's as good of a buy as the price leads me to believe...Any input is greatly appreciated!!
Here's the link for the case and PS:

It is a generic case and PSU. If you comfortable with generic, then it is ok. Otherwise go for an Antec case with a decent Antec PSU

Consider how much you're spending on your new system. Then consider that you're only going to spend $30 on that case/PSU combo. I would get a better PSU. If the PSU fails, chances are it will take out other hardware with it.

choose a case you like and then a decent PSU taht has nice reviews on newegg.

Thanks for the advice...sounds like the PSU is KEY so I'll do a search and find out what works best with the setup I'm putting together...

I would choose a case you like. Being mindful of things like adequate airflow cause some of those cheaper (and even the pricier) cases have tiny holes in the fan grill area that just chokes off any airflow. Then look for a quality PSU cause the ones that come with generic cases really suck. I'd get something in the 400w range from a quality maker of such.

Contrary to what sniperruff says, DO NOT TRUST REVIEWS ON NEWEGG. They only put positive reviews up. Any attempt at a balanced and fair review or a bad review instantly gets the hook.

This is true. You can try searching for a review of the PSU or just google the brand name to see what you find.
