You need a better case and PSU.

You need a better cooling solution. You spend all this money on nice parts and buy a crappy case, I don't get it.

It should work, but would certainly be borderline. Personally, I would go with something better.

The X-Finitys are quite good, but tough to recommend. For a few dollars more, you can get something far better. These days you can easily get units like the OCZ GameXStream 600W for under $100. Antec's NeoHE500 is even cheaper.

The X-Finity is solidly trounced by the Silverstone ST50EF-Plus. I'm not sure how long that special will last, but at $80 it's superb value.
