Hi i have recently thought about upgrading my acer aspire cx600 (
http://www.alphr.com/acer/acer-aspire-xc600/32322/acer-aspire-xc600-review) with bigger case, power supply and better gpu

Current spec are:
intel core i5 3350p (3.1ghz)
power supply of 220w
motherboard: flex atx h61h2-ad
8gb ddr3 ram
amd radeon hd 8470


New parts i have thought are:

So now i need you help as I have never done anything regards building pc before, but according to my research i should be able to pull this off and i didn't find anything to be contemptible in my new build

However if there is, would you kindly point me to it, also i don't mind if you suggest me better parts, but mostly i just need help to see if everything is conpatible

Note: i got this pc and didn't buy it for gaming so you don't have to tell me about that :D

Thanks in advance

Yes. That's what re-pot means, like moving a plant to a new pot. English idiom. Sorry.

OK all of those parts are compatible. That is a flexATX motherboard which is smaller than microATX, but bigger than min-ITX. The mounting holes fit the standard pattern. but will probably only use five or six screws. You could use a mATX case if you wanted something smaller and it might be cheaper in Finland. I use a similar GPU myself, and a similar PSU. :)

I think i should be able to find guides for that(if re-potting means moving my stuff into new case?), i just want to make sure that new and old parts work together as i'm not familiar with compatibility things. Sorry if i don't make myself very clear.

And of course if there are better alternatives for parts i have been looking i gladly accept suggestions
