I have a dell optiplex 780 pc and I want to replace its case hopefully without having to buy additional parts other than a new psu, could someone tell me what I need to look for when choosing a case for this?

You have a BTX motherboard which is "backward" from the ATX standard most PC products are made for... unfortunately that also includes cases which makes finding a nice aftermarket case rather difficult*. Be wary of claims of BTX compatible cases that do not come from Dell, HP, Gateway or AOpen, some manufacturers claim BTX compatibility but they are not.
