Take a look at this and see what you think. It comes with a better power supply and is a proven solid performer. just a suggestion

I just bought the same case as you and love it. I would buy a more heavy duty power supply maybe in the 500W-650W range if you are looking to overclock or upgrade your system down the road. I bought a Corsair CMPSU 750TX Power Supply and it will be fine for years to come (might be a little over the top for your build). -Russ
