Thermaltake Soprano MidATX computer case

My questions are, will I be able to run this out of the box? And could I go with a cheaper PSU with lower wattage, since I will only be using an ATi 9200 video card?

Any help would be appreciated.......
 
If you don't plan on gaming I think those upgrades would be fine. You have a little room for upgrades with the motherboard being what it is. I would keep the power supply the same. You don't want to skimp too much, and there is no harm in having a little extra power now rather than meeting the bare minimum.
 
Ok. That looks like a better deal

For some reason I didn't understand your last sentence. I can't use the 9200?
 
The 9200 is either agp or pci, even if you have the pci it'll run so slow, that you're better off buying a 7600gs
