Powmax power supplies are not good quality. You could keep the case if you like it, but replace the power supply.
I would recommend the Antec Sonata II. It is an excellent case that comes with an excellent power supply. If you just need a new power supply, the Antec 450w would be a good fit. I would skip the 6200TC. The TC stands for "Turbo Cache" which means the card uses your system ram as video ram. Since you do not need much video for your uses, grab a Radeon X550 PCI-E card. They are cheap and will be a good fit for you. |

If you aren't going to game, you might as well get a motherboard with decent onboard video - and take the money you were going to spend on a video card and up the ram to 1gb with it. Look at the Asus A8N-VM series.
