Hi guys...i have a problem

So I am going to upgrade my Acer aspire xc600 with HD 7750 and i5 3570k...I'm afraid that my psu isn't enough...my psu is 220w...

My current specs:
Intel i3 3220
Amd radeon HD 7470 2gb gddr3
4gb gddr3 ram
Windows 8 64-bit
LGA 1155 socket

You'd need to get above about a $150 GPU before an i5 would be of much benefit on games compared to your i3. Since you have a slimline case you're pretty much limited to an r7 250 or GTX750, nothing better comes in a low profile. You'd be better off spending more on your GPU(a GTX750) and getting a new power supply.

Basically these two:

No, that card won't fit, it will have to be a low profile one like this to fit in your case:

A full size power supply will not fit in your case either, it will have to be like this:

The motherboard should fit in an atx or micro atx case. The only problem you might have is if any of the usb or front panel wiring is proprietary and not just regular pin connections like an aftermarket, but you can probably get it to work even if it is. Also if you go that way make sure you get a regular atx power supply, not the TFX style.

The specs that I am going to buy:
Msi gtx 750 ti
Cooler master gx 2 750w
Cooler master elite 431 plus
I guess my CPU is already good enough because it's already clocked at 3.3ghz
