What's it with you people buying pre-built comps >.> If you do buy a pre-built one, go expensive with like a Sony Vaio or maybe a Dell XPS xD

XPS are definatly not worth their money =\
Also, power supply isn't the hardest... most have standard ATA, 1 PCIe at least... not that hard...
But, I would not, I REPEAT, I WOULD NOT, get a 50 dollar case/psu combo. PSU's are just added to add price, most people know not to use the PSU's in the case, they are cheap and blow up within a few months, and could cost you your rig...
3 rules of thumb when it comes to PSUs..
1: The more the PSU weighs, the better quality the PSU is..
2: Go with big name brands if you want sure quality.
3: Don't go cheap on a PSU.

http://www.extreme.outervision.com/Motherboard/processor combos usually aren't that great... No reason to compromise performance for an extra 10 dollars...
It's not that hard to pick a CPU + Mobo.... at least a CPU that fits your mobo... really all you need is to know their socket...
