Welcome to Tech-Forums!!!
This power supply should do you good: Corsair VX 550W PSU - 120mm Fan, 5 Year Warranty - Ebuyer
Other than that, everything looks good to me. The case is really your choice, because it's more of a personal preference, but a full tower is a good idea to go with. |

Thanks for the warm welcome and the recommendation b1gapl. 
Why are full tower cases preferable? Because they allow for more air flow?
I really don't care about the look of it, i just want to go with the cheapest possible one that will be large enough and be compatible with the rest of my system. Looks mean very little to me. Performance on the other hand...

yeah if you want room to put stuff in the case and not chop up your hands, definitely recommending a full tower..

make sure what you get you like cause you'll be seeing it most likely every day, and if you aren't in love with what you get then it could be a problem.

If the case doesn't have any included, you must buy them separately, otherwise without fans, what is going to be moving the air?
