Query about a future Upgrade :- About "CHEAP" PSU's

[soumo27]

First of all, let me disclose my System Specs:-

AMD Phenom II X2 550 BE
ASUS M2968 AM PLUS
XFX ATI HD 4350
Iball i612 New (Bundled with the crap PSU)

Now, I am planning on an Upgrade in few months or so. I want to upgrade to a proper GPU(maybe 5770 or something close) and change this PSU also..to FSP Saga 500W or something similar....

Now the questions that arises are:-
1. Can my Motherboard handle the new GPU?
2. Can I Change this PSU which came with the Cabinet without changing the cabinet??
It is because all of these products are just 8 months old, and I also face no problem what so-ever. But I'm planning to change the PSU to avoid damage of all the products.. But I don't wanna change the Cabinet...

Thanks for reading...

1. It can handle any GPU
2. You can always try as the PSU's and cabinets are made in standard dimensions.If it doesnt fit, change the cabinet

Thanks for the quick reply. Will keep it in mind.

Well, is there a way to know the dimensions of the PSU Slot and then match it up with the ones that I"ll buy?

Yup,
measure the dimension of current PSU and compare it with SAGAII 500W. IMO it will fit.
