So i am currently running a stock Acer Aspire m3920. Specs:
CPU: Core i5 2300 @ 2.8 Ghz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 530
PSU: Stock 300 W
Stock Motherboard.(i think its a Intel H67 motherboard but not sure)
8gb of DDR3 RAM

So this christmas i am planning to upgrade my pc for gaming. So im thinking a

Gigabyte GTX 770 Winforce 3X

CoolerMaster Vanguard 700W M

Case: Corsair Carbide series 200R or the Cooler master Silencio 550.

So here are my questions:
Do you think the i5 2300 will bottleneck the new GPU?

Will the cases give good airflow?

Will the motherboard in the m3920 work with the GTX 770?

Will this setup give good performence in for example battlefield 4?

And finally, is it a good setup overall?

Thanks for the help!
 
Solution
Change the PSU to antec, XFX, Corsair, Seasonic 650w is more than enough.

Your CPU will be fine. I would get the Corsair 200r for sure.

This upgrade will be VERY good. You should easily max bf4.


oh ok. So im a noob at building pcs i just know somethings about them . Where do i know where to connect for an example the fans, the power button and things like that. do you have any good explanation videos. I know i sound like a real noob but im just insecure on the connectings
 


I sure will. I only hate one thing on my current case. The cables have other colors than those on the new. But i will take alot of pictures and i guess i will find out all the wiring eventually
 
So after an hour of searching i found out i have a acer branded INTEL H67 INTEL 82579V motherboard. I also found a service guide on my pc explaining everything good. Except wich exact connectors to connect the leds and the power switch to. I really csnt find any user guides for the motherboard so i hope i will be able to figure it out by taking pictures and look at the connections
