I can recommend the Ever Case 4252. I have the same case and it is quiet, sturdy, and gets the job done. Not fancy at all though. 300W psu will be enough, that's what the case has.

Well, it has an FSP PSU, but a really bad one nonetheless. +12V @ 13A, 20pin ATX connector. Not even any SATA connectors. Personally, I wouldn't touch it.

300watt and 13amps for 12v is quiet skimpy...Even my 6 year old dell has more power

Anyways, it would be best to get a cheap case (if you dont want anything fancy) and pair it up with a decent PSU.

I couldn't agree more. You can get a decent PSU for $25 bucks.

i,m a thermaltake case lover, check out thre cases find one in your budget i'm sure you will not be dissapointed.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...&SubCategory=7
i'd personally go with the antec true power2 550w.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817103932
you may not need all that power now but its nice to have room to expand, exspecially if you decide on a upgrading the card or adding different cooling.there are lesser wattage truepowers also or non sli if you want for cheaper.

Take a look at Case 101 for a few recommendations.

Could you narrow that down to a figure?
