Is this PSU good enough?
Hi, I am thinking of buying a case with the PSU inside of it. It looks really inexpensive but the ratings look very good. Should I buy a different case and the PSU separately or just buy this case.

It looks cheap...specs are pretty decent, but I still wouldn't trust it. I mean I paid more for my PSU alone than that cause and PSU combo. You really shouldn't go cheap on your power supply.
Also, you didn't specify what you're running. Not that it would change my opinion that much just due to the cheap brand and all, but still that can make a difference.

Use the one in the Athenatech case. The unit included is a reasonably good quality Topower, much better than most you'll see at that price. Your system, with integrated graphics, won't draw much power.
