Hello, I am making my first computer for gaming and need some help.
Currently I have chosen the following components.
Motherboard: ASUS P8P67 Deluxe 240 pin
Processor: Intel i5 2500K Sandy Bridge @ 3.3 GHz---I'm going to over clock to about 4.5 GHz
Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 550 ti 1 GB
Memory: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB Hard drive
RAM: KomputerBay 8 GB (2x4 GB) 240 pin 1333 MHz
Extra Fan: Cooler Master 212 Plus
So I still need a case and a power supply. Also if you would be so kind, could you tell me if this all works together.
Do you recommend any cases that would allow good ventilation for the computer, and a power supply that would get this running.
So far this is at $765 and I would like to stay under or bear $900. However the power supply is my first priority.

Im no expert on psu's, but this case is looking pretty raw. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Its the corsair 500D, im upgrading to it as soon as i get enough money
If you plan on upgrading you graphics in the future, get a psu over 700w, and you absolutely do get what you pay for.
