Grab a better PSU such as the Corsair CX550M. Never understood why people would be willing to spend hundreds of dollars on the GPU and CPU and then cheap out on one of the most important bits of a PC; the power supply.

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

Depends on how much you can spend.

 

I didn't notice this before but why do you have a ITX motherboard in a ATX case? Switch it to an ATX mobo.

Just get a ATX motherboard. It'll look better and you won't be restricted in terms of features (for example, the number of RAM slots).
