I need you guys to critique my building plans please. Ok so I have a HP computer, the link is here http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/s...tainment+powerhouse&series_name=d5000t_series
and I want to put it into a new case with a 8800gt to replace the 8500gt and also a bigger and better powersupply. Ok so here are the links to the parts I am planning on buying. Here is the power supply I am going to buy which is here
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182017
it is an 550 watt so it should give me enough power (right?)
At the moment I am debating whether I should get the 8800gt with 256mb of ram and the 8800gt with 512mb of ram. I have a 20 inch widescreen display which I use DVI with. These are the links

And know for the case part
This is the case
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156063
It's just what I want but I'm not exactly sure if my computer parts will fit in it! I'm pretty sure the PSU will fit but i'm not exactly sure. Also I don't know if my motherboard will fit into the where the screw holes are in the case. And also how do the fans in the case get power? My current fans attach into the motherboard in places like (Back_Fan) and you would just plug it into the motherboard and it would just get power. And lastly the motherboard inputs on the backof the computer are labeled differently than the one on my current computer Ex: Usb's are in different spots etc. Could I just take out the tray and put it in the new computer?
Thanks for reading this I want to make sure I have every thing perfect
