wait that tower does it have the psu on the bottom?

No, just a PSU shroud. It's pretty common on recent cases. ;)

Your computer won't get hot because of the case.

well the way its set up i think it is. here is why i want to change cases. i recently put a new psu in and its installed on top of my case and the fan that sucks air is pointing down on my gpu by about 4 inches away and its preventing my gpu from cooling properly. many people have told me 60 celcius is a little high even with my dual monitor setup.

I meant that the 450D won't give your components a bad time with cooling.

I really like this case. Two questions though, first, does this come with USB ports already installed and I just have to plug it on my motherboard right?

Well, it comes with 4 USB ports on top, two USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0. The rest will be provided by your chosen motherboard and you'll just need to plug the cords for those 4 USB ports on top of the case into your motherboard.

Also, the power cable to turn on the computer is on the case right?

I assume you meant the power button? Because that's on top with the 4 USB ports.

Silly questions I know.

Hey, don't worry mate. It's all good. :)

Oh! One more thing, where do I put the disk drives and hard drives, I dont see it in the pictures, do the hard drives go on the bottom?

The hard drives are installed on the other side of the case. Have a look at some H440 YouTube videos. I believe it'll answer all of your questions about the case. As for the disk drives, I'm guessing you mean optical drives, this case + the S340 doesn't come with them because they're starting to become redundant. If you need an optical drive you can pick up an external one for pretty cheap. :)

^_^ thanks for all the help.

No worries! :)

no i mean does a cable on the inside of the case have a cable to connect to the motherboard. i'm wondering because i have a pretty good idea on how to build a pc although this will be my first. only issue i have is do cases come with a cable that is linked to the power button so it gets the signal to turn on.

I imagine it would. I think that'd be standard with most cases today.
