Really ? !

Thankz for the info...
i guess i need to purchase new set of system after all.

any suggestions on casing & PS...?

 

[THUGSROOK]

whats your budget?

cooler master stacker / OCZ 520w or 600w if ya got the $

 

[spyderzz]

for casing and PSU around US$ 200 is that worth it ?

Case + PSU for $200 could get you something really nice. Actually, you can just pick up an Antec Sonata (includes an Antec True380, now IIRC with 24A on the 12V rail) for $115. If you want to spend more, you can consider a Lian Li case and a PSU from Fortron/FSP Group, Seasonic, Antec, Enermax, or OCZ, or even pair it with that same True380 in the Sonata. (I think it was on EndPCNoise.com that someone on here pointed out a deal on that unit for $35.)

Antec Sonata is godly. I picked one up, and I never ever regretted it. I haven't seen a better case for the money IMO.
