Solved Christmas Build (First Build)

[Scazzney]

So I got a few parts for a pc build, mainly down to my uncle picking the parts for purchase.
I got:

• Geforce 1GB GTX 650 TI
• ASUS M5A78L-M mobo
• 8GB Corsair Vengeance
• AMD FX-6300 Black Edition
• 1TB WD Caviar Blue HDD

So I get that this was bought on a budget, I'm off to get a case and PSU tomorrow and just wondered if anyone could give me some advice on what I should be looking for in a case or PSU.

500w should be enough, i am using most of the same things, except for the mobo and im getting a better gfx card, and i only need 500watts. and idk, i made the mistake of buying a non modular psu so thats on my to do list.
