YOOOO

So this is how my MicroATX HTPC build is looking so far:

A6-5400k 65W that comes w/ Radeon HD 7540D

HyperX LoVo 4GB DDR3 RAM 1.35V

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104176

MSI FM2-A75MA-E35

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130662

Asus DVD Burner

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204

Crucial M4 64GB SSD

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148441

WD Green 500GB Hard Drive

The last things I need to get is the PSU and Case, I really want this to be an energy efficient build with a "can do" attitude.

I'm looking for a case that's most compatible with this build, and won't be too hard to install everything (almost still a noob here.)

And I'm also hoping you guys can recommend me a very energy efficient PSU, that can power everything on here plus Windows 7.

As far as gaming goes I'm just trying to max out games on a PS2 emulator, I'm not really looking to play anything modern. So if I can go lower in the CPU+GPU department and have an even lower power consumption, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

I like how it comes with AC97&HD plugs like most Rosewill cases do but I doubt that PSU is 80 Plus, I wouldn't want it to cook my motherboard.

I am not very happy with the state of smaller size cases, so I will be monitoring this thread for any good suggestions.

Although this would be what I would get if it weren't 100 buckshttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129039

Do you want a really small case with good psu or you dont mind a mid tower with good psu?

At this point I'm not really concerned about size, just as long as I can fit everything in it, and the PSU is good. Thanks for the help :)

That case is worth $100 if you ask me.
