The chieftec case i want on newegg comes with that power supply and it doesnt seem to bad it has these ratings

At +3.3V it does 28A
+5.5V it does 50A
+12V it does 18A


And combined 3.3 and 5.5 equals 230watts

Is that enough to be running

I wouldn't trust it - it's another Deer alias.

A Fortron/Sparkle 350w or better or Antec True 380 or better would readily outpower the Mustang, and would be a lot more reliable as well. Deer has perhaps the worst failure rate of any PSU maker.

You'll probable do alright with that psu if you dont push the oc real hard. If you can get that case without the psu do that and put the saved $ towards a better psu.

Edit. Oops didnt know that was a deer. Run away Run away.
