Don't go cheap on the PSU. That's a recipe for trouble down the road. Check newegg for some case options from Enlight. They'll have a good Enlight PSU in a plain case for a decent price. Enermax also makes cases, but double-check as sometimes they use other PSUs in them.

HERE is a good case with a good power supply. It's not very exciting but it is functional. If you want a fancier case you could buy the case and power supply seperately. I have THIS case and THIS power supply. It looks much more expensive than it is.

For a basic case with a good psu, id go with enlight, they dont look amazing but the psu is more important than how the case looks...or go with an enlight PSU and another case- but that would probably end up over $50

they are right.... althought looks dont matter, what you need the most if a PSU.... if you get a case that isnt so flashy dont worry about it, you can mod it later on down the road if you feel the need....
