Upgrading Case, Cooler, Ram.

Hey everyone,

I've been researching around for some new parts. And I've come to the conclusion that I have no idea what to look for in a case.

Currently I have:

Motherboard: ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3

GPU: Zotac GTX 960 (2gb)

CPU: FX-6300

Ram: G.Skill Ripjaw X Series 2x4GB 1333MHZ F3-10666CL7D-8GBXH

PSU: EVGA 500b

Case: Generic Compaq

 

So the problem I'm having is, my case doesn't have 120mm or enough space for a Hyper 212 evo.

Is there a recommended case for the Hyper 212 Evo?

Will it even fit on this motherboard?

Is there a better cooler to get?

Will this case fit a 212 evo or better cooler? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139057

 

Also, is it better to just upgrade to a 2x8GB kit of ram?

Or can I just get another pair of the same ram, and go for 4x8GB?

 

Budget is being tossed around at this very moment, so any recommendations welcome.

 

Thanks for any help.

Case: NZXT 210

CPU: i5-4690k - GPU: Zotac GTX 960

RAM: G.Skill Ripsaw 1333 16GB (2x8gb) - Motherboard: MSI Z97 PC Mate

PSU: EVGA 500b - HDDs: Western Digital 250GB, Western Digital 500GB, Western Digital 1TB.
