yea that could be a reason. some mini and slim cases use smaller power supplies that are designed for their compact size, so you cant use standard atx size power supplies because they wont fit.
you're still a good bit under budget, so why not just get a new case for better cooling. you have some high end components and you need to keep them cool or else they might not work properly or efficiently. if the case just so happens to look cool, that doesn't mean youre buying it necessarily for the looks. this is a great case with 2 intake fans, 2 exhaust fans, and its not super expensive, you'd still be within your original budget.

well i don't have the money yet.. i got a lil over 600 and birthday in like a month nd my parents give me at least $200.. plus other people so yeah ill have enough but the more i get extra the better also because i can get a new mouse or keyboard after then... was thinking about the death adder =p, since i palm and all i heard it was a good mouse, but ATM I'm 100% sure that the build u got me is what I'm gonna get. i don't think my computer is really that small. measurements are height: 17.something inches, width: 8 inches, length: 19.5 inches... it doesn't seem that small to me, its a pretty decent sized computer. Can i just like open my computer and measure the power supply box thing and tell you and maybe you can find me a good but kinda cheap one? or Just tell me if it is the same sized power supply that goes into the antec 300 because then ill just buy the power supply and get the case later if they are the same size... You Think i can do that? or that won't work?
