Im planning on a new build in the next week or so, ive narrowed down my bits, but need help with the case.
rough specs
C2D 6600 or possibly Q6600 (depending on price drop)
gigabyte p35c_ds3r motherboard
2gb ram
8800 gts (not sure yet if 320mb or 640mb)
500gb hd
existing 100gb IDE hdisk
dvdrw

Originally i had a Lian Li PC7 with a corsair 520w psu.
But i would like to keep my costs down if possible, so have taken a liking to the Antec Sonata 3. This comes with the 500w psu.
Would this do the job for me? as the money saved would really help me out.
Your input is very much appreciated

It probably would do alright with the 6600 and 320MB GTS, but if you were going for the 640 and Q6600, I'd go with the Corsair 520W, maybe get an Akasa Zen or something to keep the case cost down?
