Re: New System - Help Required!
The PSU I am currently using is a "EZCool ATX-600 JSP", 600W and I believe 38A. (Couldnt find full info online)
I am not certain about the case though, it says 3 optional fans, and I can only see 2 in research.
How about this one: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/118268
5x 120mm fans (2 front, 1 rear, 1 internal, 1 side) and a 200mm top fan.

Tbh, I dont know if its any good, havent kept track on how good gpu's are atm, but its one of nvidia's newest.
Edit: checked 1 benchmark and the gtx260 seems to be a good choice.
