You can reuse back the PSU, but I will recommend to change if possible. Can get FSP Hexa 500W, RM149.

Your GC also can be reused, but do note that it does not support any of the latest DX11 titles. The IGP (integrated graphics) on the CPU will support DX11 titles, albeit it is weaker in overall performance compared to the 9600 GT. If you don't really game, then should be no issues on this.

Isn't the prodigy (not M) a mini-itx casing? asrock b85m pro4 can fit in?

My bad, I meant Prodigy M. Price should be roughly the same. I suggested a m-ATX board since it has better expandability options in future.

Bitfenix Prodigy now rm329?Can afford to get a Phanteks Enthoo Pro at that price,tho..

Someone need to recommend Corsair Graphite 230T. Price wise can get at rm289. Check the review on tweaktown, pretty impressive. Superb air flow, with front fan directly blow to GPU.
I got poison again with the Battleship Grey color.

LOL, how many casings you wanna change bro?
