I have a 3 year old mini itx computer with a bad graphic card. So i figured i will buy a new case, new graphic card and a new power supply. I will keep my motherboard and CPU. But i need to know if everything will fir the case, if my motherboard will accept my GPU and if the Power supply will fit everything.

Here is a link to the GPU i am planning on buying

Here is the case i am planning on buying

And here is the power supply i am planning on buying

It was really hard to find out what type of motherboard i actually have. But when i asked in Acer support chat they said
"The part number for motherboard is: DB.SKJ11.001
MB KIT AX3475 AMD A75 REALTEK 8111FA ACER LOGO Y W/O 1394 V1.0 LF DTX"
I managed to find a link to an Ebay page offering the motherboard that i have.

My CPU is a AMD quad-core A10-5700. It already fits inside my motherboard.

But i really need to know if everything will fit inside. And if you have any advice. I would be truly greatfull, this is my first time upgrading my computer :)

Everything would fit fine, but I would choose this case over the 2500:

And this PSU over the EVGA 500w (Especially changing the EVGA 500w for a better power supply is important):
https://www.netonnet.no/art/datakomponenter/stromforsyning/evga-supernova-650-gq/226210.11091/

I understand, the EVGA 650 GQ is much more expensive but the EVGA 500w is not a solid power supply and maybe won't last longer on you than 2-3 years. When it fails it can hurt/fail your components.
