So current computer is in the signature, starting to get old by today's standards. I don't really have the money to go all out and build a monster machine, and to me this still runs well. I do however want a new cpu and case. I like my current case, got it for a **** of a price, but it I bought an aftermarket cooler and that barely fits, and I want to get a new video card and those things are getting big.

Those are the 2 cpus, I don't know much about them, it seems the slower one is 2 dollars more expensive. I'm confused

That is the case I'm looking at, seems big and looks nice. Relatively cheap and comes with 2 fans, and I've already got two running so four fans total seems like it'd cool nicely.
Last is the video card, I haven't heard much about MSI for nvidia cards, and when I went to the specs, it left some things out, which usually isn't a good sign.

Anybody know much about that card? Worth getting, it's a very low low price. Thanks in advance, sorry for sort of a 2nd thread, but the other wasn't getting answered.
EDIT: I believe the "kuma" or whatever is socket am2+ so that would not work on my motherboard anyways.
