Any case that is around 7.0"W x 17"T x 18"H is a normal size mid-tower case and will fit the card. One of the best thing is to look at the reviews and see if anybody has the same card as you in it or something bigger.

You can't post your shopping cart it won't work you have to first make a wish list then make the wish list public then find the wish list then post the link lol. It will probably be easier to post each link.

Rosewill PSU are terrible one of the worst on the market you need something by PC Power and Cooling, Corsair, OCZ, FSP, Seasonic, Silverstone, Antec, Thermaltake, Cooler Master, Xclio, or Zalman. You really don't wont to get a cheap PSU I have seen a lot of cheap PSU blow and take the rest of the computer with it you need a good quality 500w PSU from one of the brands mentioned above to power a 4870.

It will be a pretty good for gaming and will probably max out most games nothing like crysis but most games like Call of duty or Fear 2 and similar games you will be able to max out.

Oh yea you can play it probably on medium to medium high settings and have good FPS. You would need a GTX 295 to max it out.
