Howdy, I'm interested in upgrading my power supply and graphics for my Lenovo K450e desktop, it's my first time installing hardware by myself and not sure how to go about it. I am thinking of using the following power supply and graphics card to upgrade to.

My system specs:
• 4th Generation Intel Core i7-4790 Processor (3.60GHz 1600MHz 8MB) • Windows 8.1 64 • Intel® HD Graphics 4600 • 16.0GB PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM 1600 MHz • 2TB 7200 RPM + 8GB SSHD • DVD Recordable • Broadcom 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi wireless • One year • Optical ScrollPoint

I would like to know if this set up would work/fit inside the case and any other tips you guys might have. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

1| Please follow this article as a reference for power requirements.
2| Pick this PSU up by EVGA to help give you headroom in terms of longevity and retention should you want to swap the PSU and GPU onto a more powerful and overclocking worthy system.
3| You're sure you don't have the i7-4790K processor, right?
4| Pick the same GPU from another vendor to get some more off your investment.
