New budget build

[coldmeat]

I'm looking for advice for a budget build that will be a decent gamer. I noticed this build when browsing through the forums, and I think I would like something very similar. I have a few questions though.

1. AMD 7750 or e5200 if I do not plan on overclocking and have no plans on upgrading in the near future? The 7750 is not available/out of stock at the site I am looking to buy from (Direct Canada) so would it be worth it to buy it from somewhere else but have to pay for shipping?

2. Power supply and case. Are there any decent case/ps combos out there right now?

3. Depending on the CPU, what motherboards should I be looking at? Keep in mind that I have no plans on upgrading.

I am planning on buying the 4830 as well.

Thanks

There are very few PSU/case combos. Generally the cases are cheap ones and the PSUs that are thrown in are old stock or just plain crap PSUs to keep the price resonable. The last thing you want is a cheap/crappy PSU. Expect to spend about $50-$80 on a decent PSU. Considering the video card you want i thing a name brand 450W PSu will handle things for you. Check out Corsairs VX series and Antec's Eathwatts series.

Ya, I didn't really expect to find any decent combo, I was just kind of hoping because I remember about a year ago I built a pc and found a good deal on a case with a good psu in it.
