Compatibility questionable?

[Shikalazy]

So i posted this question on Yahoo answers, and didn't really get any response that was helpful, so i came to you guys, because i know you deliver. so here goes:

Okay guys, so i reciently asked a question about upgrading my computer so i could run heaver spec'd and higher resolution games. So i'll repeat my specs as follows.

Os: Windows 7 premium 64 bit
Model: h8-1010
Processor: Intel(R) core(TM) i5-2390T CPU @ 2.70GHz (4CPUs), ~2.7GHz
Memory: 8 Gigs
Hard Drive memory: 1TB
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6450

Now i know everything is in pretty good shape except my Graphics card the 6450.
So i went looking around and found a better one, that was reasonably priced to do what i want it to:

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6850 1GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102908

But then i discovered it requires a 500 watt power supply, and i only have a 300.
So then i looked for a 500 watt power supply and then came up with this:

Diablotek ZR ZR500 500W ATX Power Supply
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817822019

But then i was concerned that my case wouldn't be big enough for all of this, so i looked at some larger cases:
and came up with this:

RaidMax Blade Case

But and then i figured, since i was going to be buying a new case(if it works out) i might as well add another drive to my computer since i only have one. And i don't have a DVD burner.

ASUS 24X DVD Burner - Bulk 24X
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204

So basically what i'm asking you guys is that: I'm going to be reusing my old computer, just putting the motherboard and everything in to the new case, installing a new Graphics, and a new DVD drive as well as updating to a 500 watt power supply: Are all of these things comptaible with eachother, and won't end up blowing up when i try to power on, if installed correctly?
IF they are not compatible with eachother, can you recommend me to a similar device that is compatible with eachother, that is in a reasonable price range?

Sorry for the whole mess of information, but, i want to get it right!
Thanks.

First thing, Don't buy a cheap $18 PSU. It will come back to bite you in the a$$ when it fries and takes out your mobo. With those parts go with a min. 650W bronze 80 PSU. As for case, pick something that you like with room and good reviews. DVD not much to say there as long as you got the right interface (sata/ide)

A 500W ModX PSU will be sufficient.

Thanks! But now i have another concern... I don't know if everything is compatible with my motherboard/ I don't know if my mother board is welded or not. Also, do you guys think a 1g Graphics card is enough for the type of gaming i am going to be getting into, or do you think i should upgrade to a 2g? If so, what would you recommend that is in my price range for cards (between $100-180), Also, i'm now concerned about everything fitting into the

NZXT M59 - 001BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146058

that i picked out, I'm also thinking about getting the optional second fan? Thoughts?
Uhm... Is this going to be enough to run Crysis 2 on...lets say Medium-High settings?

Here is some information for you, idk if it will help you or not.

Processor a

Main Circuit Board b

Thanks for the help, i made an account on this, for the sole purpose of getting your guys' help, and input because i know how great this site is for people like myself, who aren't really sure about what direction to take.

Also, my brother is a I.T kind of guy, and he says that we're probably going to need static resistant bands, and gloves, to insure that we don't fry the board. Is this step really necessarily? Or is it recommended? We're taking everything apart, and rebuilding it on a Wooden surface (My computer desk).

Thanks!

Thanks, I looked into it, and found a better one for more money, but not as cheap production wise. What do you think of everything else though?

What about the setting- card ratio?
