Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Need help, about to pull the trigger!!

Any decent 450 - 550 Wat PSU will be good... Read the forums. Search google as i think there have been a few PSU reviews on some major Tech sites (Anandtech for example).
STAY CLEAR OF Q-TEC!!! Anything below £40 - £50 is really pushing it - no pointin spending £400+ on a decent setup only to power it by some £25-30 PSU...
Spend the money now and it'll save you days/weeks of headaches in the future... specially when you build a new PC and you get a fault...
As for the case - not sure, Coolermaster cases are nice, although it depends on what you really want. I'd go for atleas a case with 1 x 120mm outtake (or 2 x 80mm out takes - depends on if you want it to be quiet and perform well).
If you can, go either Antec, Coolermaster or Thermaltake - I've got an Akasa Eclipse 62 - awsome case, but it IS big, but i wanted it because of the 120mm fan mounts front and back (Helps with keeping it quiet
) - plus it's got wheels... Have a look around and see which ones you like the look of.

Like English says, there's no reason to buy a crappy supply. The PSU forum here has a good sticky note about how to pick a decent supply.
For a case, isn't it really a matter of personal preference? Lots of folks think $200 for a case is overkill, but I really love the LianLi PC-V series. If you want to buy a cheaper case that you think looks nice, go do it.

Oh year, i forgot LianLi... some people swear by them, although they usually are more expensive than the "Average" case (if you can call cases these days average).mikeblas said:

The only combos that I can recommend are the Antecs.Ogre67 said:
Either the SmartPower II 500W or the TruePower II 430W or 480W would be fine.
The SmartPower II 450W might be a little lite.
