So I'm planning to upgrade/build my computer

Current: Acer Aspire X1800 (stock) + HD5570

Plan:
CPU - Intel i5-2500k - http://ark.intel.com/products/5220 [...] o-3_70-GHz
MOBO - Gigabyte GA-P67-DS3-B3 e5400 - http://www.gigabyte.com/products/p [...] id=3882#ov
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Low Profile (2x4gb) - http://www.corsair.com/vengeance-l [...] 00c9b.html
GPU - Sapphire HD6850 1GB GDDR5 - http://www.sapphiretech.com/presen [...] =497&lid=1
PSU - Seasonic X-560watts 80 Plus Gold - http://www.seasonicusa.com/NEW_X-s [...] 60-850.htm
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/pr [...] ct_id=2923
Gonna be putting all of these in Cooler Master HAF912

But problem is, I cant buy all of these in one go. I'm planning to buy the mobo first so
1. Can I put all the components of my stock X1800 to that mobo?
2. Do all of the components that I want to buy compatible?
3. If I add another HD6850, will 560watts psu be enough?

I'm new in this, sorry. Also, I'm on a tight budget, but please if you can make my build more solid please help.

Get 7850 or 7870 instead it is much better than 6850, and possibly 3570k instead of 2500k. I don't know if these would push you out of your budget though. This is my opinion I am no expert.

@g-unit Sorry for the confusing question. What I plan to do first is to buy the mobo, case and ram. Is it okay to put the old components (pentium r e5400 proc, hard drives, dvd, etc.) to the new mobo?

@Augray So the 660w version of it good? http://www.seasonicusa.com/NEW_X-series_560-660-760-850.htm

@combine Unfortunately yes, it will be out of my budget so I guess I'll be sticking with it

Thanks for the replies guys!

yes, the 660W version will be just fine.

you won't be able to use your E5400 processor, it uses a different CPU socket. You might be able to reuse your old hard drives and optical drive, it depends on the connectors they use. if IDE, then no, if SATA, yes.
