Best Answer: Antec is good. ATX is atx. Personal experience with them, my rig stays cool, around 60 deg under load (crysis)! Case (interior) design is excellent with no cables in the way. Good stock fans and room to upgrade. Yeah don't worry about having no PSU in there, this gives you a good chance to get a psu to power that card! VX 550 is a good choice. And I'm sure that hdd will work with the mobo. -
A case is a case. ATX is a standard size motherboard and cases come in ATX and Micro-ATX. The slots on the motherboard will line up. SATAII is a standard and any drive will plug in. I did notice the hardware so I would recommend you get a case that has at least one fan to blow out the heat. - gjcooper1960
