1. The cables on that PSU may not be long enough to work in that case. You need to do a bit more research.

2. That's a very good deal on the 820. Excellent placefiller till you go C2D.

3. Any of the 7600GT's would be fine - excellent placefiller till DX10 matures and it can do surprisingly well by itself.

"Cable length is approximately 18" from the PSU chassis to the first connector. (Cables with multiple connectors are obviously longer.)"

would that be enough?

[glc]

I'd advise you to try to find something where someone has actually tried that PSU in that case.

Wow, thats a sexy looking case.

I dont see how the 24 pin power will reach. Or the 4 pin?
Maybe you could get an extension.
But I'd look for a PSU thats designed to be at the bottom of the case like that.

all the other parts look great.

I know that one of our members, Mr. Ferrari, has confirmed that the cables in the Corsair 520w power supply reach fine in the P180. This is a great unit, and the one we recommend for anyone who intends to upgrade to a power-hungry Direct X 10 video card once the full range is available.

If you just want a unit that will power the system 'as-is', then look at an Antec unit - I'm pretty sure they make the cables long enough to work with their own case! This one is an absolute bargain after rebate

thanks for the advice guys. i have read a ton of reviews and info on the corsair 520w and have decided to go with that. thanks for the recommendation. also the power cable on it tho is only an inch(19) longer then the xclio which made me alitte reluctent to go with it but i found some more info(with pictures!lol) about the corsair, p180 case, and asus mobo(which i will be getting p5b) that made me feel a bit better. once again thanks for the input, if anything eles comes into mind plz let me know. thank you once again

For that case a antec True Power Trio or neo 550 or 650W will have long enough cables for that build.. I have the ANTEC 900 which also has a bottom mounted PSU and those were recommende by ANTEC to use on these types of cases..
