Hi, i am new to this forum, and I had a question about the PC i am attempting to build by buying parts off newegg.

I am purchasing:
NZXT GUARDIAN OR Orange SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 400 Watts PS2 ATX 12V Power Supply - Retail

RAIDMAX Hybrid 2 RX-530SS ATX12V 530W Power Supply - Retail

LG 18X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe Black IDE Model GSA-H42LK BK - OEM

EDIMAX EN-9230TX-32 10/20/100/200/1000/2000Mbps PCI Gigabit Fast Ethernet Adapter - Retail

Kingston HyperX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KHX6400D2K2/2G - Retail

ABIT AB9 Pro LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 Allendale 1.8GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E4300 - Retail

ZALMAN CNPS9500 LED 92mm 2 Ball Cooling Fan with Heatsink - Retail

EVGA 320-P2-N811-AR GeForce 8800GTS 320MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card - Retail

My main concern was if the power supply I am purchasing seperately would fit into the NZXT Guardian Case. I do not know if there was a way to tell if it could or not. I need help with this so I can build my computer, but if you guys catch anything else that might not be compatible with this setup, please tell.

A couple of quick thoughts
A....Why the ethernet adapter when the board has dual lan
B.....If your going to use a 965 chipset I would spring for an sata optical drive (they really have come down in price) and some people have been having problems with the jmicron controller(I'm one of them)It will also help with cable management...
C.....Having a case with an 80mm exhaust in the rear there are many times I have said to myself I wished it was a 120mm.
These are just a few quick thoughts I'm sure others will post more...:)
