Hello, fine people at tom's hardware. I have a Dell Inspiron 620 MT with an Intel i5 2320. I have a really really bad GPU so I'm planning to do a big system upgrade.

I'm pretty sure that I currently have MicroATX, I'm just paranoid that something won't be compatible. Also is there any ways to save money with the same performance.
SSD is for performance and I need a little more storage. I am also going to reuse my old 500 GB HDD. Will both fit in that case?
The whole reason I'm upgrading my case is 1. It is dell crap and 2. I don't think the GPU will fit.
I'm keeping CPU + RAM + MOBO + HDD + OPTICAL DRIVE.
Does everything look compatible? Also will that PSU do fine?
