PC Case/PSU Recommendation

[*** JD]

Oops... I accidently posted in the 24hr helpdesk.. was meant for the group.
Hi guys, I'm looking to upgrade my system in the near future - I'm probably
gonna buy one of the 'Upgrade Kits' from Komplett as I've purchased hardware
from the site before and was very happy with the service.

As I'm probably going for the AMD 64 3000+, I'm gonna need to a new PSU
(currently have a Tsunami 300W PSU).
What PSU should I go for, would I need 400W or would it be better to pay a
little more and get a 450W PSU.

I'm looking for a case that looks attractive, and has options for a number
of case fans (my current case hasn't a single case fan - only one is on the
processor)
As I don't intend to upgrade the 'core' of the PC for at least 3yrs after
this I want it to look and do "the business"

Thanks in advance

I would recommend spending the extra $$$ and getting a 450 watt PSU. But
MAKE SURE IT IS BRAND NAME! I personally have a love for antec, never had a
problem with them. As far as cases go, couldn't help you there, i
manufacture all my own cases.
