You should use pc part picker to help with pc component compatibility.

It should fit just fine and you shouldn't need a new psu.

just check the dimensions of the cooler, and compare it to the dimensions of the case (hyper 212 is not very big so it should be fine). Also check if the new mobo is the same size as your old one (m-atx/atx)

The only thing I can think of that might be an issue is the motherboard, that series of boards tends to be a bit wider, although I'm not sure if that's the case with that particular board. I believe the cooler should fit

Oh ok. Odd that's not on pc part picker. Well it supports gpus up to 320mm I will see if it fits.

It does fit.

I just found it (i think) it says the mobo is 12 inch x 9.6 inch. on my case specs it says 9.6” x 9.6” (Micro ATX), 12” x 9.6” (ATX) .

should be okay right?

Yep the Gpu will fit and the mobo will fit.

Yep the Gpu will fit and the mobo will fit.

Alright thanks man.

 

last question because i'm insecure about this since some people say i need a better psu some say i dont.

 

will there be enough room for minor overclocking? don't want to begin with big overclocks since i have never done it really.

I would personally upgrade to a 600watt but it should be ok.
