Sure it does, if it's not too expensive. And you might consider an extra cooling fan or two.

You'll need to specify your motherboard

Not sure any recommendations that would work for that case and graphics card?

Graphic cards usually work with most standard motherboards. What you want to look at is that the cpu socket is the same as the socket on the mobo, and that the mobo can fit in the case.

Unless the case is a mini/micro tower this shouldn't be a problem

How about this setup? Would I be able to run Half-Life 2 and Counter Strike: Source? Is there anything I could save on and yet still have high quality gaming? Any suggestions?
