I'd get this PSU instead: http://www.buy.com/prod/corsai...loc/101/205852646.html

For 10$ more you get a cooler that can compete with a tuniq tower: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16835233003

I don't like the case one bit, but I suppose that's personal preference. Consider a antec 900 or a cm 590/cm 690.
