Need PSU and Case for new build (Ubuntu Linux OS)

[dougrb]

I guess I'm at the last step in building a new desktop, and I've come to the part where I need a case and a PSU. The system's OS is based off of Linux Ubuntu and I'm not much of a gamer, though I do like to play Urban Terror and the likes on occasion. Most of what I'll be doing is burning CD's and DVD's as well as ripping CD's listening to music etc. Basically a multi media pc.

I'm wondering though if my current configuration isn't overkill since I didn't want to spend a lot of cash (just bought a new Macbook Pro) here's what I've got on the list so far:



GIGABYTE GA-MA770-DS3 AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX All Solid Capacitor AMD Motherboard
$89.99

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Brisbane 2.2GHz Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor Model ADO42000IAA5DO - OEM

$136.00

Pioneer 20X DVD±R DVD Burner Black IDE Model DVR-115DBK

I'd love some suggestions on which PSU I should get, or at least how much power I'll need in order to keep things nice and level. And should anyone have a nice CHEAP case to suggest, I'd be more than happy to take advice. I know that I could always get cheaper parts, but I figured that I'd keep my stuff up to date and treat myself.

Thoughts ?

Antec EA380. You don't have any major power needs there.

You're right. Nothing I'll be doing will require a heavy power load, I just want to make sure I have some power in reserve though, In case I decide to upgrade or add more peripherals or memory etc. I'm actually more concerned with quality rather than quantity, and want to make sure I won't get a PSU which is DOA, or won't blow in a year.

Thanks.

Thanks again. Searched Newegg for that one, and happened upon a combo deal for the Antec which is 100 W more than that one and a very nice ATX sized case. $30 rebate makes the combo $107. Just bought it, and will probably have it Tuesday, knowing Newegg.

Thanks !
