I am building my first computer and need some recommendations for a case. I would like something in which I will not have to do any modifications for anything to fit in. The componets I will be using are as follows:

MSI NX8800GT 512M OC GeForce 8800 GT

PC Power & Cooling S75QB 750W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply 100

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600

ZALMAN 9500A 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler

ASUS Xonar D2 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Interface Ultra Fidelity Sound Card

and two dvd drives/burners

The important thing I need to know is that the case I choose be able to accomadate the video card and the power supply with no modificatins.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Do you already have the parts? I would recommend using an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro over the Zalman - it cools just as well for less cost, and doesn't fill up with dust that you can't clean like the Zalman does.

As for the case, I recommend these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146038
