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.

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?

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.

I'm in love with this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119047

I have the silver one, but the blue one is on sale, so if you buy it tomorrow (Oct 1), you get a $10 MIR, so it's only $30.

That looks one hell of a sweet case for only $30.

I would go with that one,And its cheaper than that horrible white one above

Alos, don't short yourself o the PSU; as shown you can get a good case for pretty cheap, but I would look at the PSU 101 Sticky to get some ideas.

It doiesn't have to be extravagent or break the bank, but you want good clean power.
