SORRY, the title should read "450w" not 400 ;)

Well i want to buy this case:

NCIX.com - Buy NCIX XION2-BK Black ATX Mid Tower Case 4X5.25 2X3.5 5X3.5INT 2X120MM Fans 450W W/ LED Fans & Window - NCIX-XION2-BK/GN In Canada.

Mostly because it's hella cheap, and it looks awesome. It also happens to have a 450W PSU that comes with it! This means i can save 100ish dollars. But...

Will this PSU be able to handle:
q6600
2900pro
1 HDD
1 DVD Drive
1 TV Tuner card
2 GB ram

With a small bit of overclocking (3.0-3.2ghs) on the q6600?
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA thats a stock case PSU... of course not... its gonna crap out... buy a dedicated PSU...
 
Are there any not-so-crappy PSUs then that you would recommend for this build? Keeping in mind that i'm on a tight budget...=)
 
what is your budget?

because you said overclocking a lot.... so i think a Corsair 520 is what you need... but its near $100 USD... maybe an Xclio GreatPower 550w?
 
Well my budget is about 1050 CANADIAN, and here's what i have so far

2900 pro
q 6600
"that case"
ASUS P5K ATX LGA775 P35 DDR2 2PCI-E16 3PCI 1PCI-E1 SATA2 Sound GBLAN 1394 Motherboard
OCZ Gold XTC PC2-6400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-12 240PIN DIMM Dual Channel Memory Kit
Scythe Ninja Plus REV.B Heatpipe Fanless Heatsink AM2 LGA775 S478 S754 S939 W/ 120MM Fan Adjuster
Arctic Silver 5 HIGH-DENSITY Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound 3.5 Gram

Grand total of about 980$.

HDD / DVD are already at home
