Price Range: $650-850 USD (like i stated before if the case i currently can hold it need a new one)

Your case might not support GPU so I added new nice case to the build, if you have an OS then you can get better parts for saved money from OS :)

Same build as above but I added a small case. It will fit everything and will be similar to your current one who you'll be use to the form factor.
