Brand and Wattage for PSU

The link you have provided is actually broken and incomplete. Kindly reenter the link so that we can view what you actually have right now.

As far as using an older case, that should be ok as long as its air vents are not clogged, its paint is still intact and that it supports the kind of motherboard size you have. Make sure you clean it up and remove all dust when you use it again.

As far as the PSU, i would suggest you purchase one that is at least 80 Plus certified. When you pick a model, check with the 80 plus website and see if it's listed there. PSUs with 80 plus certification are efficient. Their website is here:
