I need some help choosing a case, and I need to know whether the PSU I am looking at will be enough to power my system. I know its hard to recommend a case because it usually depends on personal preference, but the main thing I am worried about is size. Here is the system I am going to be building next week:
AMD X3 720 or AMD X4 940 (Haven't yet decided)
BIOSTAR TFORCE TA790GX 128M AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop
eVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216
CORSAIR 550W ATX12V V2.2 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC
Samsung 640GB SATA Hard Drive
Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition
That's basically the system minus a DVD-RW Drive and fans . . .
Will that 550 Watt PSU be enough to power the system? Second is the case. I really don't have any personal preferences other than the fact that I would like it to be a Mid-Tower, have a window, and be large enough to fit a GTX 260. One of the cases I looked at was a Lian-Li Aluminum Case for $99, but I don't really want to spend that much money if I don't have too. Any recommendations?
