I thought about upgrading my old PC and i bought a Sapphire Radeon R9 390 NITRO 8GB DDR5 512-bit Backplate.

1. Will it work with:(from my old pc)

Intel core i5 3330.
Asustek P8H61-M LX3 PLUS R2.0.
8 GB RAM DDR3.

Kingston 120GB SSD ?

 

2. What Power Supply and Case (something nice that would have black, blue or gray details)?

Someone recommended me a Sirtec - High Power Element Smart 650W. Is it good?

It'll work.

 

Not sure about that PSU... I'll recommend any 550-600W PSU from SeaSonic or XFX. The Antec HCG 620/M is also a good choice.

 

If your budget allows for it, definitely aim for a EVGA GS/G2 650W

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

My budget: somewhere near 150-200$ (for both - in total) maybe. :-/

What about this PSU: Cooler Master GM Series G650M 650W? Do you know anything about it?

It's a CWT unit.  Quality is okay, nothing great about it.  It shouldn't start a fire(jk, mostly).

I'd get the EVGA B2 long before I'd get that Cooler Master TBH

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
