I need help with power and case!!

[GrungyHobo]

I'm getting ready to build a computer for the first time, I've picked out most of the parts but I need a case and power supply. I'm getting an Intel QX6600 EVGA 122-ck-nf67-t1 mobo 2-4G dominator RAM 150G Western Digital Raptor X HD and an EVGA 8800GTX. Could someone recomend a case and power supply? I haven't looked at power supplies really but I was looking at the coolmaster Cosmos 1000 and the Thermaltake armor series is either a good choice?

Antec 900

Yeah antec 900.

or NZXT Apollo

for a psu i would go a Corsair HX520

 

[diduknowthat]

Antec P180/2 if you want a quiet case.

Antec 900 = Modular PSU (HX620/520)

Antec 900

coolmaster Cosmos 1000/ Thermaltake armor are full ATX tower. Do you really need full ATX?

Or go for the common mid ATX?

Antec 900 (Most common)
Antec P180/2 (quiet)
Cooler Master CM 690 (cheaper)
Cooler Master Centurion 5 (Basic)

By the way, did you order your Motherboard and Graphic card yet?
I would suggest you go for a 780i Motherboard with 8800GT. Go for GTX only if you want to Tri-SLi.

if he's not going tri-sli then why get the 780i with an 8800GT?
