Hi! I want to upgrade my computor with a new gpu and ram.

My current computor:
SEAGATE BARRACUDA GREEN 2TB 5900RPM SATA/600 64MB
OCZ AGILITY 3 2.5" 120GB SSD SATA/600 MLC
LG CH10 BLU-RAY 10X BD-R BULK
KINGSTON 4GB 1333MHZ DDR3 CL9 1.5V (2X2GB)
INTEL CORE I5 2500K 3.30GHZ 6MB S-1155
GIGABYTE GA-P67A-D3-B3 P67 S-1155 ATX
CORSAIR GS 600W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V PSU
ASUS GEFORCE GTX 560 DCII TOP 1GB PCI-E DVI/HDMI
ANTEC MIDITOWER THREE HUNDRED ATX BLACK

The new parts I am thinking of buying.
GPU: ASUS GEFORCE GTX 690 4GB PCI-E DVI/DP
RAM: CORSAIR 16GB DDR3 XMS3 PC12800 1600MHZ (2X8GB)

Will it work with my motherboard?
Is my chassi too small?
Will I have enough power?

Please help!
 
It will work with your motherboard.

Your case is horribly designed, and antiquated, but it will hold the card.

Your power supply is too small. You need one that is 650 watts and at least 38 amps.

I personally would go for a HD7970 and be done. It is more than enough for anything you could play up to about 1440p resolution, and it is cheaper and more powerful.
 
power supplies are standardized sizes. You need a ATX supply to match your case.

And if you went with a single chip GPU then you would not need an upgraded supply at all.
 
Save yourself some money and go with a 7970 or a GTX 680 and then think about spending the extra on a nicer case. Corsair Carbide 300R or Fractal Design Define R3/R4 springs to mind.
