Change the PSU like JP said. Apevia = junk.
I think the cooler is a good choice, but I can almost bet you it's not gonna fit in that case. Those things are HUGE, and will probably touch your side panel, if not stick out further then that.
And I also think you might have a space issue with a GTX260. Those are pretty long, and most of the time in OEM systems, the HDD is mounted right in the way.

Well.......I'd say your gonna have loads of room if you choose to take that mid tower board and stick in a full blown ATX.......lol
Nice case though.....should have any problem keeping things cooled down or monitoring ambient temps.

Because I only have $405 and I won't be making anymore soon. Also I already have 6 gigs of system memory, so when I get some more money later I'll buy processor and motherboard. I am replacing, just piece by piece (since I can't buy all at once). Thanks for recommendation.

That would be $405 plus the $4-5 hundred you should be able to sell it for... | |

Where would I be able to sell this? I look around and see hundreds of computers like this, how long would it take to sell? I'm not sure anyone would really want to buy it. Just seems easier if I just keep upgrading this comp. | |

Just a quick one to say that the Arctic freezer 7 is a great cpu cooler, and only $32 without a mir.
And now that I am looking, I think selling the old system all together and starting new might be a good move. One reason is that you can probably get more money for the whole system as opposed to selling out parts, and the extra cash should be plenty.
Slap an ad up on craigslist, $4-500 should be reasonable.
