Cases that come with power supplies are not good, unless it's from Antec or so I hear. I suggest this...

yeah i recomend a separate PSU too, except it's a well know named psu, well PSUs came with cases are mostly for not a very demanding system, low on the 12v rail.

Yes. Use Antec, Fortron, Enermaz, Ocz, Seasonic....min 500 watts.
