The case itself is fine, but the TurboLink power supply is a low quality unit that you should replace with a good quality power supply as soon as possible. Good quality power supplies includes Astec, Enermax, Enlight, Fortron Source, HEC, PC Power & Cooling, PowerMan, Sparkle Power and Verax.

Yes, 350 watts from a good quality power supply is enough to power a computer.

Case is a case is a case, it's what you put into it that matters, accesability, space, and style may be a consideration. One thing I would do is buy it without the power supply and put in something better.
