i like to have at least 500w of psu for gaming but as long as its from a reliable source and wont break on you then thats fine. also i like that tower with 3 fans. gl
 
Switched to the Antec Case. Still not sure if its better, but I've heard and know more about the Antec 300. I was mostly going for the Rosewill because of the Tom's Hardware reccomendation.

In the end this is what I for my $315. I think it was worth it!

Looks darn good to me, mate.

The 300's main (only) drawback is that it doesn't have much to help in the way of cable management. Since it doesn't have a side window I just bundled mine up and have them on the bottom of the case out of the airflow.
 
That X4 640 Porpus is a great chip, I have it running in one my machines and it handles games just fine.
 
Any reccomendations on a bang for your buck video card? Doesn't have to play things on high settings, just be capable. I don't really game that often but want to have the option open to me.
