Do all these parts check out with each other?

[shishkebab]

I built this computer on NewEgg, and I want to make sure all these parts will be compatible with one another.

My main area of question is the power supply. I would like the most cost efficient power supply/computer case that will support the rest of the computer. The graphics card is about 10.5".

I'd like to know any red flags in the different parts, and if there are any spots (particularly power supply/case) that could be more cost efficient.

Ok I see some fixes that can be made.

Case: The CM 690 is great for dual vid cards, but seeing how you going with a single card set up the Antec 300 would be the better choice.

PSU: A decent 550w is more than sufficient to push that build.

Mobo: DFI is a great board for experienced over clockers, but I would go with something a bit more user friendly like this Gigabyte down below.

I have to endorse all of why_me's suggestions.

I am partial to psu's from PC P&C or Corsair. Any 550w or better unit from either would be good.
