Acer XC 600 re casing / upgrades

[hayesw60]

My son has an Acer Aspire xc600 i3 2100 6gddr3 1tb HD, I bought this originally for homework an browsing but last year upgraded it with a low profile vtx hd7750 so my son could play some games, I'm now looking on rehousing it due to its limitations (low power supply and case size) I can't fit a new graphics card into it and my son is now using this more than his Xbox one

Here is link to the PC

I'd just like some feedback and to know if everything is compatible, I was also thinking of adding an old Sandisk 120gb ssd i already have to run the OS on it, would this be worth it?, any info will be much appreciated

What country are you living in and what is your budget ?

Using an iPad an just clicked on solved by mistake

The PSU is excellent and the GPU is okish. Just keep in mind that the GPU you want is quite big and you might have some trouble fitting it into that case. Look for full atx tower instead.

Here is a link to the full spec of the case, it says it has 7 full size expansion slots, I presumed that would be big enough, didn't want anything to big as well, to be honest I am only considering the case because it will match my sons green keyboard and mouse and young teenagers seem to like these sort of cases

Is it definitely a no for that case then

I did not say it would not work. The GPU will fit in the case but with a non modular PSU, the cable management will give you a headache when installing a GPU that big.Bad cable management+big GPU+micro ATX tower means bad air flow. Bad air flow= High temps inside the case.....Getting high temps inside the case just to have green LED's and a cool looking case is not worth in mi oppinion but it can work though.
