If you want to go SLI, upgarde your PSU to at least 650 watts. And you might as well it anyway if you can afford it.

What is the case you have now? You could probably just add a few more fans if you needed to. Changing cases is a tremendous pain in the ass.

You could probably keep your old case and add a couple fans to it. However, you should get a motherboard with more memory slots, the one you picked only has 2.

Unless the thing's squirting out grease and sparks every 5 minutes, I don't see a real need to replace the case. Your current case supports the ATX formfactor, so you're fine for any future upgrades (unless BTX can come back from the grave).

If anything, don't waste your money on the case. I reccomend upgrading your computer hardware, especially that Mobo. I ran my new upgraded computer, an Asus A8N32, 2Gigs of Ram, a 7900GT, 200Gb, and 620watt PSU (all of which were really good in their time) In a Little Beige Box for 2 years, and I was glad I didn't waste money to get a new one. Trust me, get the innards first before upgrading the outers.
