    Kingston 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory

    Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale 3.16GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor

    EVGA 896-P3-1260-TR GeForce GTX 260 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

    ASUS P5Q Pro LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

    Those are the main parts i am gonna put into my new case. The rest (Hard Drive; CPU cooler, case fans, A DVD-RW drive) i am just gonna move over from my old comp.

    Can somebody tell me a really good looking case that is somewhat cheap but has a medium sized psu and a medium sized wattage and fits all my specific parts above

    Think for a moment. What are your odds of other people helping you out when that's what they get in return?
    If you don't like the case that's fine, perhaps:
    Coolermaster RC-690
    Coolermaster Centurion 532
    NZXT Alpha
    Raidmax Smilodon
    Lian Li PC-A17B

    But 'those suck' suggests you don't really give a damn what we say, and is frankly rude.

    In my opinion the only good thing about Smilodon is the removable mobotray. You should definetly reconsider your choice.

    The Raidmax Smilodon is not especially well designed, well cooled or well made. However, it is better than a lot of the terrible budget basic cases out there. Since most people seem to adore the case for reasons I don't fully understand I include it in cheap case lists. The best cases of that list are the Antec 300 and Coolermaster RC-690, but the OP's choice is the OP's choice.
