I plan on buying some components for a new rig soon.

I have yet to pick out a case. With trying to keep cost low, any suggestions? Also I plan on recycling two hard drives from the old computer, along with a gtx 260, a 575W PSU, and the DVD drive. These items are all compatible, and will work well together correct?

Thanks for advice!

This combo would be great if you're willing to pay extra: link. But if you don't want to go much higher, this would be fine.
