If you need a new case and PSU, I think there's a CM Sileo on sale for $40 w/ free shipping and the BFG LS-550 is $80 at buy.com, putting you at $675 + tax and shipping. ;)

You don't need a quad... a dual or tri-core is fine, but thats such a good deal on that combo its hard not to list, lol.
 
thanks for the reply,

We have decided to get a new case and power supply. Any more recommendations?
