Im looking to upgrade my computer case to this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153&cm_sp=MyNewegg-_-TopSel-_-Pst01Descrip

for the simple reason that my computer has HORRIBLE airflow with no fans other than the heatsink and the gpu.

Currents i have this case (and some of its parts) http://us.gateway.com/gw/en/US/content/model/DT.GE3AA.001

I upgrade the power supply but if the default one fits in the new one i would assume this one would to. I also added a radeon 7770 gpu, and im getting the amd a10 5800k cpu.

I am really bad at this kind of thing, if you need any pictures of like the mobo or anything just let me know, thanks guys!

Are you sure that's the model? I've never heard of it and a Google search yielded no results.

Thanks, for some reason it looks like it has less space for the mobo but its very possible its the angle, the mobo my computer came with is kind of weird as far as the placement of the gpu but it looks like it will work!

Yes im sure, it came with this gateway computer pre built, it's odd to say the least.
