    RX 480 shouldn't be too big you can check the specs when it comes out.

    I think the first build Artorius posted is all you need, just re-use your ssd. Here's a similar option with different preferences in parts:

    If you want to use the motherboard and cpu it'd be best to just disassemble the entire thing and move it to a new case along with a new power supply. There are multiple videos on Youtube of people doing exactly that with their Alienware x51.
    The only things I have updated is the power supply however it was like a year ago and I don't even remember which one i bought...

    Can I move all my current components and move them to a Corsair 540 and then slowly over time replace parts.
