PSU & Case Suggestions

[jrayx]

I want to know your opinion about a PSU and Case configuration. My actual sistem specs:
Phenom II 955 x4
Hyper 212+
ASUS M4A785T-M
Kingston Hyper X Blu 4 Gb
Samsung Spinpoint 1 TB
Cooler Master Elite 430
Generic "600 w" PSU


So, I'm looking something under $150 bucks both PSU & Case, so here's some options I like.

NZXT Tempest 410 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146081&name=Computer-Cases
PC Power and Cooling MKIII 500 watts http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703035&name=Power-Supplies

Or

NZXT H2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146072&Tpk=H2
Corsair Cx 500 V2
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027&Tpk=cx%20500%20v2

Those 2 configurations are about $155 $150 bucks, I'm looking some good quality and features.
For example the H2 has a 3 speed fan controller, "silent case", HDD Dock and looks professional.
And the Tempest 410 has massive cooling, gaming style case, and space for a radiator (Nice to have, but I'm not using it)

You can post a good config under $150 for the Power Supply and Case.

One last question, the NZXT H2 has an HDD Dock, my motherboard ASUS M4A785T-M can support it? (I think It needs AHCI or something like that)

The hdd dock will work with just about any mobo. i used it to for initial new computer transfer.

However, be aware I didn't get mine to be hot-swappable, so you need a restart for the HDD to show up.
That being said, I only needed to use it that 1 time, so I didn't really dig too deep into it to try to get hot-swappability.

I see, well is not a big con if I'm going to do a backup or something.

I would go with a Seasonic, specifically the 520w modular unit.

Great opinion, for 10 bucks more I can get this Seasonic PSU instead of the Corsair Cx500 V2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151093&name=Power-Supplies
The bad thing is the time of the price (I don't have the money right now, but soon) it can change at 99 again .

Another good PSU around $50-$70 with long cables but not much wattage? (See my system config up)

A good case under 100 bucks? I'm looking for quality, features, price and dust filters.

I like the Corsair 550D, it's around 130 bucks for now, looks great, good cooling, filters, but that means to get a cheap PSU with long cables, but I really don't know if its a good idea
