Hello. I decided to build a new computer. This is what i have at the moment.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K Processor 3.5 GHz LGA 1150 BX80646I54690K
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX780 SuperClocked w/EVGA ACX Cooler 3GB GDDR5 384bit
Power supply: Corsair CX750 Builder Series ATX 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Power Supply
Motherboard: MSI ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-G55 SLI

I have an old computer case(Cooler master CM 690), which also includes my old 8GB RAM(4x2GB) which i want to use in the new computer. Im just wondering would everything fit in this case and are there any improvements i can do to the build (Around 800-950euros). My old motherboard that i have used was the P7P55D PRO in which my old RAM has fit, I am telling you this because i know nothing about my RAM just that it is 4x2GB.(I would like to know if the RAM fits with the new motherboard) Everything else like (hard drive..) is also in the old computer case. If i missed some information that you need just point it out and i will post it. All help is greatly appreciated.

Corsair's CX line of PSUs is not known for high quality components. Go to this list and pick out a Tier 1 or Tier 2 PSU: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-su...

Is the donor PC in running condition? There are programs like CPU Z or Speccy that will give you an inventory of all of your installed components, like RAM.

So if i pick up m12ii-750w that should do the trick right ? and yes the RAM is in running condition. I will check the program asap. Anything else i should change ? This build should run all the games on highest possible if i am correct ?

I wouldn't recommend the 780, you should get the 970 if you can find one. They're better, use less power and are newer.
You should probably add a CPU cooler, so that you can overclock. If you want a cheap one, Hyper 212 evo is a good choice.

Thanks i will consider the 970 and i will add this CPU cooler. I also checked via CPU-Z that my ram is DDR3 and the motherboard MSI ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards Z97-G55 SLI says DDR3 so it should fit right ?

Yes, it should fit with no problems.
And do you exoect to do SLI in the future? (2 graphic cards)
If not, then you could get by with a Seasonic 520W, as the 970 uses very little power.
