Ok so my Brother has an HP pavilion of some sort but its CPU is an Intel Pentium G2020 @ 2.90GHz Ivy Bridge 22mm with 4GB single stick of RAM at 66fMHz (9-9-9-24) and the motherboard is an Foxconn 2AD (SOCKET 0) with a WD 1TB HDD and an Optical Drive. The first thing i need to do is git rid of the crappy case and put the motherboard/CPU/HDD/Optical Drive in a new larger case to be able to house a larger PSU and a GPU so i found this combo on Amazon by coolermaster that comes with a great case and a somewhat ok 500W PSU

Yes i know that it may not be the best PSU in the world but i only need 400W for the GPU i am getting him which will be the MSI R7-250X because it is the best GPU that will not bottleneck the CPU he has and is a great price. It is the best i could find under $100 as of now. And of course i will be buying him another 4GB stick of memory totaling in at 2x4gb of RAM and i will be buying a Samsung 840 EVO 120GB for his Windows 8.1. So that being said does it seem like this PC will be ok especially for Minecraft and such? He plays at 720p also and he is more than happy gaming on low settings just as long as he can play the game. The MSI R7-250X is much more powerful than my Intergrated graphics HD4600 and HD4600 can run every game i threw at it and some on Ultra so it did good so the GPU i am getting him should dominate at 720p and such. What do you guys think, will he be able to game with this setup and will his motherboard fit in the new case?
PS sorry for the horrible typing i was in a hurry and do not feel like correcting anything haha
