I want to upgrade my graphics card from a GT 620 to a GTX 760 (MSI) and I realised that my PSu wasn't powerfull enough and that my case was not big enough. So I decided to change both of them. I ended up with this in mind:

Graphics card-http://www.coolmod.com/product/20712/0/0/1/T-Grafica-MSI-GeForce-GTX760-OC-2GB-DDR5-Regalo-WATCH-DOGS.htm

PSu- http://www.coolmod.com/product/24836/0/0/1/Fuente-Alimentacion-Tacens-Mars-Gaming-600W-85.htm

Case-http://www.coolmod.com/product/20056/0/0/1/Caja-NOX-Krom-K100.htm

My motherboard is a H61H2-lm3 and my CPu a I5-3450.
My major concern is if the PSu and the motherboard will fit in the box and if the PSu is powerfull enough for handling the 760.
Allso I apreciate any alternatives to ither the case or the power supply within a 5€ range each.
Thanks in advanced.

They specify 'high performance graphics cards' so we can hope the card will fit in the case but I know of no way to be certain without doing a lot of research:). The motherboard should fit any standard ATX form factor so it should be OK. Not sure about an alternate power supply. Check both the 12v rail requirements and the wattage requirements for your card and be sure the PSU is up to spec. Give it some headroom on both since you are buying a lower tier unit and then hope for the best. With a little luck it will work for a few years if you don't push it too hard.
