@d3p5kor : thanks for the config, but the board has only VGA output. I would like to have DVI option. Case looks like a mid tower would like to have a smaller one :) . USP not needed, I added it in the original post now. everything else looks good enough.

can you also suggest a AMD config? BTW has Llano processors hit the market?

Is the 150W SMPS provided with CM Elite 100 be sufficient for the above config?

No it won't. May be the system will run but during high power requirement, different components will start malfunctioning and might lead to short life span of the components. D35Kor's suggestion is a very good one.
