Can I repurpose the Dell Optiplex 780 mini tower case to fit entirely new PC parts?

I know I could probably find the answer somewhere if I did hours of searching, but I don't have the time, and I really don't want to mess up.

I'm building a new PC, but on a pretty strict budget, and I'm trying to cut as many corners as humanly possible, so I figured I would just use my current computer's (the 780 in question) case rather than get a new one. I've been having doubts on whether the parts I want will fit into the case. So basically, I'm just wondering if any of these parts might not fit into the mini tower:

-- Cooler Master Hyper T2 54.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

-- MSI B150 Gaming M3 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

-- EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Superclocked Video Card (this is already in the 780 and I've been using it for a while now)

-- Cooler Master Elite Power 400W ATX Power Supply

And yes, this is my first PC build, so that's why I'm asking a probably really stupid question.

I would say probably not, as Dell likes to make it to where only their hardware can fit. Also that PSU is junk. Get a proper tier 1 or 2 unit. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

I would also spend less, on motherboard, and put the money towards a better GPU, like a GTX 950.

The case doesn't have to be super expensive, and you can use pcpartpicker to determine compatibility.
