So I currently have an old HP Compaq dx2450 Microtower which I use for general low performance use. http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ca/en/sm/WF06b/12132708-12132884-12132884-12132884-81756671-81756737-81928987.html?dnr=2
However I am now looking at upgrading this system bit by bit to eventually have a new one capable of gaming. Looking at first upgrading case and psu, then gpu ,then motherboard, cpu and a fresh install of windows 7.
So first step being buying a new case and psu and moving all current hardware into the new case ( Antec Nine Hundred which a freind is willing to donate to me) has left me with these questions.
Please forgive my beginner questions, I am quite new to all of this
1) Does a computer case require a certain amount of wattage, if so how much.
2) Will I have compatibility issues with the new case, as it has far more usb's ect then my current one.
