I am building a new system.

E6600
Ultra X heatsink http://www.enzotechnology.com/cpu.htm
Gigabyte P965-DQ6 v3.3
Cruicial 2gig Kit Ballistix http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?imodule=BL2KIT12864AA804
X2900XT ( its designed for DX10, so all the reviews which are based on DX9, I believe are not doing it justice, also the drivers need to get optimized properly, Nvidia has had time to do so).

The rest of my components will be reused from my current system such as HDD, DVD, X-fi card.


There are actually 3 areas I need help on...

1. Cases ( I have a original P180 ) which is a sweet case but I am planning actually put add in a 1000w PSU. Will this case be able to house it? Even if I remove the fan at the bottom?

2. If the P180 case will not be good enough, Will the ThermalTake Armor ( not Jr ), or the Antec 900 be good enough?

3.Which 1000w PSU have people used and recommend? Enermax, Thermaltake ToughPower, OCZ, or Silverstone?

HELP!

Thank you
 
1. Don't think it can due to the cage thing and the bottom fan, even if it did fit I'm not sure the cabling would be too easy to route.

2. Both should fit it fine however neither of them would be my first choice (Lian v1200+ or similar)

3. Enermax out of those however you really don't need a 1000w PSU for that system.
 
I have never been a fan of Lian, since I don't mind the weight of the case. I don't carry my PC to LANS nor do I actually move the case from where it sits.

What PSU do you think would be a best fit then if not a 1000w for what I am trying to put together. I eventually may go Crossfire.
