Just curious, did you check the dimensions etc. to ensure the new PSU & graphics card will fit in that tower case? A few people have referenced that PC here before, the tower is pretty small, and pretty full...

I would also add that the motherboard in that machine will not support a 100W processor that I'm aware of. It's a mobile board so it won't fit any of the desktop processors.

What is the exact PSU, graphics card and CPU that you are getting for this new comp? Knowing all the specs will help us determine if the PSU is enough.
