Hey, I'm planning to make an update on my pc. I use my pc for mostly gaming.

Here's what I'm planning to keep from my current PC:

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231424

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371031

the rest of the parts are mostly junk

 

I know some of these parts are not the best but I don't want to spend more money on some better parts that will only give a slight better performance

 

Here's what I'm planning to buy: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VMjRxr

I understand that an SSD would be good with this PC but I'm on a budget right now and could get one later on

 

A few concerns about this:

Will the CPU cooler fit in that case?

Is there a bottleneck between the GPU and the CPU?

                                         

Tell me what you think about this upgrade and tell me if I should change any parts

 

Thanks for the help :)

Yes it will fit.

No there is not.

What you think of that PSU, is it garbage or can still use it? and if it is garbage, what effects will it have on my PC if use it?

It's fine for you because you're not overclocking. The effect of a lower 'quality' power supply will just be less efficiency with power. Yours is 80+ Bronze so I'd say you're good.

It is decent, I would recommend this one though. It is lower priced and a really good PSU. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013

Quality is also determined by surge protection and reputable manufacturers, not just the efficiency.

Yeah, it is lower price but I already bought the one I have so if it's decent I'll keep it. Thanks :)
