yep good suggestions, but if you decide to stay with the DFI go with OCZ, it will work better if you want to overclock. The Fortron 450 is awesome, if you want a case and PSU in one for a good price, check out the Antec Sonata case. I would definitely go with the x800xl over the 6800GT, it's cheaper and a better performer.
