UEFI is somewhat redundant if you have a Gigabyte motherboard. @BIOS allows you to update your BIOS from Windows with as much ease as a drivers update.

You don't need new memory, so use whatever money you feel comfortable spending on a PSU--if anything but a new card.

As for the card upgrade: your 8400GS has a max draw of 71W, the best card...

~10% performance difference, and your numbers indicate ~12% price difference; seems like you practically get what you pay for.

Yes, absolutely. Replacing a PSU is rather easy, you just need to write out a checklist if this is your first time. The only thing you're likely to screw up (as I did a few times when it was first...

Your system should be drawing approximately 175-200w without a video card; your PSU isn't the greatest quality, but should be fine as long as you aren't trying to draw much over 325w constantly. You...

Chances are that you could drop a 6850 in there without worrying about it, assuming you haven't loaded the system up with a shitton of drives, fans, or other oddities which draw power.

If you want to overclock your CPU, get an FX motherboard not a GX, otherwise, you've selected the computer parts rather well. That case is functionally awesome.

Beyond that, the only other thing I...
