As far as power output is concerned, the PSU has quite a bit of headroom before you run into any limit. It should take a video card upgrade in stride, unless the card happens to draw around 16A or more.

You can certainly spend more on the case if you like; I'm just fond of the SLK3000B because it's cheap and can be very quiet.
What's wrong with mine? Thanks, osalcido, you saved me quite a bit of time.kernodle said:bump......need for suggestions
