The only other thing I could think of is maybe getting a new PSU. A modular one would be better for cable management and you should look into a higher voltage. Finally you could go for the cheaper case and get a better PSU, and possibly another cheap fan. Just some ideas not sure if they are totally necessary.

How much more power would I need? Unfortunately I can't afford a modular PSU =(

I was thinking of going with a smallest PSU possible that wouldn't cause any problems and if one day I upgrade my CPU/GPU then I'll also upgrade the PSU.

The 550 ti has a minimum requirement of 400W so I don't know if I need that much more.

This is my first build though so I'm not sure, you guys know more than me lol

Also, what's the difference between a 2.2 and a 2.31 PSU?
