Seconded, and this will also help in the wire management department as well. The tidier you can get those wires the cooler the system can run. From personal experience, a less then adequate PSU and bad wiremanagement adds almost 10*c to your components!

Q-tec psu's are just shit(pardon my french).It is overall a good machine,with a gpu upgrade down the line it is fine,but oh that psu.

You'll be lucky if that psu is 450watts true.

Why would he upgrade a 3.2ghz cpu?

Wire management is still needed. With my old case I cut holes in the motherboard tray for wire routing. Worked wonders for wire management.
