I want to upgrade my pc

B2k

My sister recently gave me her Pc since it was blue screening due to a corrupt windows , i fixed it and now the computer is running good but i'm looking to upgrade. (Transfer)

Spec's 

Processor: Intel i7 870 2.93 GHz

Memory: 8192 Mb Ram

Nvidia GeForce Zotac GTX 960 

And a dell case ... it's ugly.

So the upgrades I've picked out so far with the knowledge i have from linustechtips 

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/s8Y8xY

The case i'm thinking going elite, but this is what i have and i'm hoping for feedback on a better build around the same price. I want to be able to get to the point eventually upgrading to be able to play current games that are extremely beautiful ... also trying to go white and black .

i don't think it does since i have searched it up so even if it did i feel like it would be a good choice to get a good reliable cooler . But i will have to look in to that thanks heavyftw =]
