Have $60 to spend on case/power supply

I have about $60 I can spend on a case/power supply combo and can not seem to decide upon the best choice. I already have the video card, mem and HD just need the case/PSU and mb/proc set.

This is for a gaming machine but I do not go to lan parties so it does have to look overly exciting.
I would want good cooling and PSU as stability is what I am shooting for.

Looking on New Egg I see a few cases in this range but can not afford to make a mistake so any suggestions will be appreciated.

Take this case for example, any opinion on that? it is in my price range.
KINGWIN Mutant X Silver

Thanks

 
Thanks for the quick reply guys. I had the same question posted on Tom's Hardware and while I got about 8billion views only 1 person answered.

So going with the case you guys gave me this is mb/proc setup I am looking at going with.

1. AMD Athalon 64 3400+ 1mb L2 cache
2. Gigabyte GA-K8NS Ultra-939

That will leave me about $100 to spend, would it be worth it to ugrapde the PS from the cases you guys suggested with that money or just go with the default?

Thanks again.

This processor is incompatible with the motherboard you chose. The 3400+ 1MB l2 cache is a socket 754 processor. That motherboard is a socket 939. If you go with that processor then look for a mobo that is designed for socket 754 processors. If you decide to go with that socket 939 motherboard then the closest match to the processor you chose is the 3500+.
 
Will I see much difference between going with a chip that has 1mb l2 cache and 512k l2 cache?

This machine will only be used for gaming.
 
The 2500BQE isn't $60, it's $76. shipped... Go to the cases store on newegg and use the configurator to search out the cases that fit your criteria.

Page Computer's price works out to higher than newegg's due to their exhorbitant shipping charges ($22. for ground!!!). I guess it's OK if you can go to their store to pick it up.
