You would be better off buying the case and power supply separately the extreme power models are not the better models in the coolermaster line.
To know what PSU you need we would first need to know the Video Card you want.

You'll need the video card to boot the PC the MB does not have integrated on it.

The E8400 will come with a stock Intel fan/heat sink which is good up to a slight over clock.
