Looks good but I dont know if the gpu will fit in that tiny prodigy, or if you should stick with the stock cooler (it seriously sucks).

 

Also, I would recommend a 600w PSU

That GPU will fit fine, whenever I do builds for others that's often the case I recommend for the build. It fits almost all sizes of cards big and small.

The reference cooler on nvidia GPUs is actually pretty good. Way better than the AMD reference coolers.

The stock cooler keeps the card under 80C at reasonable noise levels, while keeping the case temp lower too because it is a rear exhaust card.

I would personally recommend the EVGA ACX cooler since it's worked well for me, but I'm sure any non-reference design is better than stock.  So I think it's worth the few extra bucks for another fan on the Msi, Asus, Evga or Gigabyte solutions
