Could you check and let me know the motherboard you have now? Change of chipset is not required if you are sticking to same CPU and unless you have requirement for:
1.More USB ports
2.Better SLI/X-Fire configuration (say upgrading to X8/X8 mode from X16/X4 mode)
3.Extra PCIE slot for SSD/other peripherals (even then that might be feasible in your current motherboard).
4.Require headroom for space, for installing say a water cooling kit/bigger CPU fan that your current motherboard cant house.

Other than these and unless your motherboard has suffered any damage, you wont get any performance benefit by that mobo upgrade.

Absolutely that would work and a good choice of power supply. But one question, why are you willing to change the motherboard? I mean you can add the GPU, PSU, SSD in the new case with your existing motherboard, since you wish to continue with the same CPU.
