ilim4t1c is on a distinguished road

Default Building a gaming computer, i need some help with this...

I'm trying to build a new desktop, and i know how to assemble everything, but im pretty lost on if these are all compatible, can somebody please check this out

Case
Newegg.com - Rosewill R218-P-BK Black 0.5mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases

Mobo
Newegg.com - BIOSTAR A770 A2+ AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards

Video Card
Newegg.com - ASUS EN8800GT/G/HTDP/512M GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

Power Supply
Newegg.com - hec HP585D RETAIL 585W ATX12V Power Supply - Power Cord Included 100 - 120 V/ 200 - 240 V UL, cUL, FCC, CSA - Power Supplies

RAM
Newegg.com - pqi POWER Series 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

Processor
Newegg.com - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Brisbane 2.2GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Processor - CPUs / Processors


Now i understand that the power supply is a crappy brand name. And i also have a couple questions about that and some other stuff as well...

1. If i don't overclock anything at all, and i play a game like crysis, what can happen if i buy a cheap power supply such as the one linked above.

2. Do i need a PCI-E connector for the video card that i have linked above.

3. I did some research on the video card i want to buy, and lots of people said that the fan speed stays at 29% until it reaches 70 degress celsius, will i need some extra fans in my case to keep my computer cool if i run a game like crysis (at medium/high settings, not max) at 1280x1024.


Thanks, any information will be very much appreciated.
