Okay, so already I've run into a road block.I tried installing that PSU and no go. The difference in length between it and the old one is too much. After I get it installed, (which was a chore on it's own) I can't put my DVD drives back in and can't put the side cover back on. Had to put the old PSU back in. I also noticed what Mecher said. There's no way I would get a bigger vid card in this thing.
Sooo, here's my question to you guys. If I bought a new case, which I would like to get this one:

that way, later when I get building the whole new system, I already have the right case. Anyway, if I buy that case, could I put the motherboard and everything from this Gateway into that case and it will work until I start the new build? I was told that if the MB in this was an ATX that it would work but I'm not sure if it is. At least that way I can use this power supply, get the new vid card and then save up to get the rest.
Will this work? Thanks for your help guys!!
I think this is my MB,
???????????????????????????
Looking at the slots, a bigger case still may not allow me to upgrade to a bigger vid card
