Hi I'm currently sitting on a dell 560 rig, default motherboard and CPU, I'm planning on changing both of them but i don't know if it will fit the case.Planning on buying:
-CPU: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W 8-Core Desktop Processor ---->http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113284
-Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS --->http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131873

My current GPU is Raedon HD 7770 GHz edition and my power supply is Rosewill 630-Watt Green Series. I'd like to know if changing the case will be a necesity, and side question if i would need a better cooling system. Thanks for the help.

I would recommend getting a change of case because the dell 560 hardly gets any ventilation. You would preferrably want a new case + and a new CPU fan (replacing the stock fan). And yes, If you DO want to overclock. You'd require a better casing and a better CPU fan.

(Pretty beast this one)

Once you get the case I would recommend adding the two fans ontop and the one...

Once you get the case I would recommend adding the two fans ontop and the one in the rear. (The front one comes free)
Then again, Its a budget case, And it isn't pure flashyness.
Hope this helped! :)
