I plan on upgrading my pc soon and had a couple of quick questions, so I thought I'd ask the experts. I was going to go with a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H LGA 1155 mobo with an Intel i5 3570k processor and Corsair Vengeance 8gb 1600 memory. My video card is a Nvidia 9800 GT (yes, I know it's old, but I plan to upgrade that later). The problem is, I love my case. It's a Cooler Master Mystique (www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119129). They don't even make them anymore. Will this new hardware fit in the old case? I plan to go with the stock fan and don't plan to do any overclocking. My second question is whether my PSU will be adequate with the new setup. It's an older Cooler Master 500w power supply (www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171018). I've read that most PC builders these days are going for 650w PSU's, but then I read that most systems nowadays don't use anywhere near that power. When I eventually upgrade my video card, I'm won't be using SLi. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
