im going to be getting a new case with my parts im getting and im wondering if this is a nice case for cooling and power..

is the psu in this case decent? i know it doesnt have that many watts, but for this price i feel kinda secure its an antec...

and if i get a cheaper case and add a psu would this one be ok?? go really good reviews but its a powmax...http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProdu...-018&depa=0

I dont know much about cooling on the Antec, but the power supply seems bad- 21 Amps on the 12v rail. Go for about 26 or something. It depends on what your using it for. Read Praetor's PSU 101. The power supply on the second link might be decent though.

Well I'd rather get a sperate case and power supply, because most cases I've seen don't have very good power supplys. I'm not sure about that powmax power supply though, I haven't read any reviews for it yet, but the rails look ok/good.

What are the other components for the computer?

That's quite a price jump.

Yeah, but it's a cool case

. What is the price range here anyways? How big does the PSU need to be? Those Thermaltake Tsunami Dream (VA3000) cases are supposed to be really good. And Thermaltakes new 680 Watt PSU is supposed to be perfect for an SLI setup.

More info would help.

that case is ugly, might as well call it a christmas tree

Christmas trees are ugly?
