New a new case + PS enough for an overclocked 2500xp barton

I was thinking of an enermax 550W what do you think, what about the case? does it have to be aluminum or steel?

What exactly do you have for components?
Case can be whatever you want. As long as it will house a full ATX PSU.

For an XP, even a simple Fortron 400W will be more than enough.
Regarding the case, it all depends on your budget and the kind of looks that you're after.

what a full system dvd burner cdrw soundcard etc, it has to have good case cooling, the reason I say this is because right now I'm using a p2 (2001) case is kinnda small it barely fit the mobo and there is no sidefan and the case temps get similar to the cpu temps, 42 or 43 and the cpu gets 47, my other case has 35C case temp on the same room this is why I notice I need a better case.

What kind of price range you looking at for a case?

less then 100$

Honestly I overclocked an Athlon XP-M 2500+ Barton installing on an A7N8X-E Deluxe mobo all powered by a Raidmax 420Watt PSU with no problems for over a year.
