Looking for advice on suitable case and psu to house the following;

i7 950
GTX460
1 x SSD
1 x HDD

No overclocking.

Some gaming but not the main function of the PC which will be mainly 2D graphics.

Would like peoples recommendations for something that's reasonably quiet.

Budget is approx £150.

Thanks in advance for any replies.
 
Cases are down to taste mostly, but the Antec 200, 300 or 600 should do the trick.

As for power supplys I would go for about 600w -> 700w.

Maybe the OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w or the Corsair TX 650W, You could get away with a lower wattage psu, but iprefer to give it too much juice than too little.
 
Id say look at the Corsair TX650 on TWO, its more wattage than you need but its decent make
Re the case have a look at Coolermaster Scout, Coolermaster CM690 II Advanced, or the Fractal Designs if you want something subtler
 
it depends how you hook them up, if you just molex them to psu then they just run at full tilt, or you can hook them through mobo or fan controller (to dictate speeds), youd have to check what connections they have though
 
Looks like the Gigabyte Mobo has a minimum of 3 sys fan sockets.

I'm guessing that anything controlled by the Mobo will be thermally switched?
 
think I'm just about there with my choices of case(coolermaster cm690) and psu(corsair tx650)

Currently got the titan fenrir evo cpu cooler selected - anyone got any better suggestions?
