Hi Guys

Its been a while since I built a PC, so im looking for some advice about what sort of case/psu to get for the following bundle which ive purchased.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-004-OK&groupid=701&catid=339&subcat=

Im only using a ATI Radeon 1800xt so I dont need a massive ammount of power. My real concern is whether the introduction of ATX 2 will affect my choice. Also im not sure about what number of pins I need on my connector (20/24)

If anyone has any decent case/psu recommendations then please let me know. Its a non gamer PC for a friend, so it doesnt have to be top of the line. Im looking at spending about 65 quid on a case/psu.
 
tbh i'd change the cpu and either go for a q6600 or a e2180 (and clock it) as they are the only 2 worth considering anymore due to the price of quad core.

geil pc6400 is stupidly cheap so i'd go for that and for mobo something like gigabyte p35 ds3

for case and psu i'd go for corsair 450W and akasa zen, or else one of the antec cases with the psu, though not sure if they would be enough if you went for quad core.

so that would be like £370 in total if you went for quad or £260 if you went for the e2180



just making suggestions like, what does everyone else think?



EDIT: what graphics card will you have? will you be gaming and will you be overclocking?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-094-AN&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat=160 should suffice i think
 
Gaming and Overclocking wont really be an issue, she is about 55 ;)

Ive got an ati radeon 1800xt im going to use, im really just looking for a case/psu combo that will get the job done with the bundle ive bought.
