Can I replace the cpu cooler on this motherboard?

[Thebusdriver8]

This it a picture of the motherboard and heat sink above the cpu https://www.google.com/search?q=optiplex+960+mt+inside&safe=active&client=safari&hl=en-us&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjulJ7GmYzTAhXBMSYKHTUTDZgQ_AUIBygB#imgrc=W_75qyEh0bJTxM:

can I replace the current cpu cooler with this to fit this onto the motherboard so I can fit this on there? http://pcpartpicker.com/product/JMVBD3/gigabyte-radeon-rx-460-4gb-windforce-oc-video-card-gv-rx460wf2oc-4gd I will be replacing the case with a new one so I do not need feedback on the case. Thanks! http://pcpartpicker.com/product/FNXfrH/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rrht228pkr1

It doesn't look like an aftermarket cooler will be compatible. The 4 holes are very far apart and at odd angles.

*I would do some measuring and see if this EVGA GTX 1050 would fit your motherboard. I think it will, it's only 5.7in long. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/sc4NnQ/evga-geforce-gtx-1050-2gb-acx-20-video-card-02g-p4-6150-kr

The 1050 is a better card anyway.

Here's a 1050 Ti that would fit nicely: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MCU1ERO/?tag=pcpapi-20

And a regular 1050, if the Ti is too expensive: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M6ZF3LC/?tag=pcpapi-20

You may find your board uses non-standard mounting holes, so replacing your case would result in a need for a new motherboard and possibly power supply too, in which case the only parts you'd be keeping are CPU and RAM.

EDIT: Pretty sure the power supply is proprietary, and won't fit in your new case.
