So last year i baught an Alienware x51. it was a very good pc and had no problems with this but with the newer games my FPS begin to go lower. So i want to move it to a new case. but since i'm new to pc building i don't know what case i need to take or if i have to get a new power supply. I had this case in mind: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139041&ignorebbr=1.
Btw. sorry for my broken english my main language
