Looking to transfer Acer X3400 to new case. Input desired.

Hello I'm going to keep this simple off the bat.

Currently I'm looking into buying a new case and PSU to install a 5770 Single Slot that I've had laying around for a year now.

My one concern is the possible problems I will come across when it comes to making this idea become a realization.

To begin with I'm going to post a quick run over of the PC, the GPU I plan to install, and one of the cases in which I am Interested in. If you need additional info from me in order to have a better idea of the situation, ask and I'll try to stay on the ball with an answer.

GPU: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-r...

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...


In addition if you have any other ideas or helpful hints on how to give me the most bang for my buck, please toss them out. I'm not set in stone with what I plan on doing, however having external sources of input will help me greatly. Information on if there will be any problems on installing a new PSU also would be great, I have an idea of what Wattage I'd like to run, however don't know any of the small legistics.

Also, I notice this happens at times on TH however the GPU is what I have currently in possession so don't jump on here just to knock down ATI or suggest Nvidia cards. Personally I prefer Nvidia however I purchased the 5770 mistakenly thinking that it would fit into the x3400. Silly I know.

Hope to hear back from someone sooner or later! Ask or talk away.

Also: Happy Thanksgiving!
