If you like the design of that case then it's fine. The PSU that it comes with should handle your system without a problem making it a good deal

Yeah, that PSU is perfectly fine. The Sonata is a better case than the Solution. On a side note, WOW that's really expensive for Corsair ValueSelect. I got my 2x512MB for $80...

you got the same ram for 80? where?

do you want pure quietness? if you do, then the Sonata 2 may not be the answer. look to a Lian li case or the Antec P180. i've heard a lot of people say that he Sonata 2 is not that quite, although its not noisy either. plus its 450W Smartpower is not Antec's top line of power supplies. but it can handle your setup with ease. so if you like the Sonata 2, buy it. you will not regret it

but if you decide to buy a case and power supply seperately, i'd recommend this psu

the 450W Fortron, it is more powerful than the Antec power supply. it is conservatively rated, also its rated at higher temperatures so it is more accurate. but keep in mind that the 450 Smartpower is a great psu as well and will handle a lot of hardware with ease.

this case is only $49 and very solid. it feels like a much more expensive case

this is a great power supply

SLK3000B is a very nice case. Highly recommended if you require a quiet n cool case with plenty of room inside.
