Cheap case/PS for a budget gaming rig?

I am attempting to build a cheap (around $500) gaming rig and have about $50 left for the case and PS. I am going with very cheap HDD and DVD drives, cheaper RAM, an Intel E2180, and a GA-P35-DS3L Mobo. I will be running a single HD3850, 3870, or 8800GT. I plan on a modest overclock to around 3.0Ghz. Would a cheap PS impede this overclock, and by how much? I was thinking about something like this:

Can you recommend something better?
 
with that kind of budget you'd be better off with a 7600gt which is around 85$, and getting a good power supply and an ok case
 
Don't go cheap on the power supply, and never use case+power supply shit(unless it's a antec). Anyone who tells you otherwise is full of shit.
 
I wouldn't suggest any kind of PSU for the price. A $50 PSU yes, a PSU and Case for $50 no way. What is the full specs of you PC, and have you bought any of the parts yet, and do you need an OS. We can put a build together for you that will have everything you need for you're budget. I see that you are going with Intel which is already a bad idea for a $500 budget
 
Holy crap, I didn't even look at the date. I failed on this one. Oh well can't do anything about it now.
