The power supply in that case is quaranteed to be generic junk and is likely to fry and take other stuff with it. For 20 bucks for both, the case is probably junk too. You will need an ATX 2.0 power supply for that motherboard. See the first two threads in the general hardware forum for how to pick a power supply and a list of good/bad brands in the second one.

Get the case you already have listed but take out the power supply and replace it with a good quality ATX 2.0 power supply like this one.

And why don't you get a DVD burner instead of just a DVD reader?

I would also pass on the Rosewill RAM. Pick out RAM from this RAM compatibility list.

I really dont have a need for burning cd's. I want it to be able to read Dvds and cds too. I dont care as long as the ram works. If it doesnt, tell me other wise. Sorry but im trying to keep it as cheap as possible. Is there any cases that come with atx 2.0 in it?

if your trying to keep this low, lower the video card, and get good ram. if the rams goes after a month, youll have to return it and youll be angry, btw returns can take a long time. better get good quality. you can just get a DVD/CD-rom instead to save you money. As mentioned above, Antecs case comes with good PSU,

The CD/DVD drive is what is posted at the top. The vid card is a combo deal with the processer and is a good deal. Recomend any good brands of ram? Recommend a good Antec? (Lower priced) Sorry im kinda a n00b.

I just need to know if this will work now. I only changed the case cuz im pretty sure the ram will be fine for what im using it for. Im just going to play battlefield 1942. Then in the future i plan on upgrading it to a gig for bf2.

The case link you posted goes to a hard drive, not a case.
