the parts you picked are way overpriced. the Dell case is somewhat proprietary, so the MB probably won' t fit. you need to get a new case. the PSU you chose is terrible also. here is was I would do.

reuse your DVD and HDD (use the HDD as secondary storage)

buy:

I would really like to know if it will fit. I really like the case I have. It means alot to me. and im on a budget.

 

[delluser1]

It's a BTX case, can't use an ATX motherboard

 

[jerreddredd]

there's your answer ^

 

[jerreddredd]

if you are on that tight a budget why a $300 GPU?

dropping the SSD out of my build puts you under what you were originally going to spend including the case.

I understand. in that case you should think about the GTX 660. less money and performance is within 4FPS usually.
