Need help transferring to new case and upgrading

[FrostNinja]

Hi,I have the following configuration and would like to move it from my cooler master n200 to cooler master haf xb to fit below my tv. And if my budget allows, maybe upgrade my gfx card. Unfortunately, I know nuts about which hardware works well with which. Can anyone advice if the following configuration can be moved? And if I move, what type of gfx card I can upgrade to in the new case? Recommendations?

Specs
Intel core i5-6500 1151 3.20 ghz quad core
Gigabyte b150m-D3h 1151
Kingstone HyperX Fury DDR4 2400 MHz (4 GB x 2)
MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G PCI-E 4 GB
SSD 250 GB
1 TB HD 3.5''
650W Superflower leadex full modular 650W 80 plus silver
Nidec gentle typhoon 1850 rpm 120mm pwm cooling fan

I don't think there is a cpu cooler. Just the fans.

If it have Intel logo on it, it's the stock fan.

Just checked. Yes, it is the stock fan.

That casing you planning to change ain't much smaller than the one you already have. Whatever floats your boat as long as it looks nice under the TV haha. Your whole system can migrate over without any issue from what I see.

Both valid points. Haha, im actually surprised people want me to save money! I measured it on the side and it actually fits. Now just to upgrade the gfx card!

Thanks for showing me the light! If anyone has any recommendation on a good and suitable (and cheap) 1060 gfx card, please let me know.

Palit GTX1060 3GB at SLS $275
If want ASUS/Zotac buy online Lazada should be cheaper with CC discounts.

Why you wanna upgrade to 1060 though? The jump like not very big. Imo should get 1070 or wait for next NVIDIA/AMD release.

Your current card is the gtx 1060 lol. Stick with it. At no way it's a lousy card and it's still relevant. Wait next line up or straight go for gtx 1080 ti for 4k gaming lol

Despite our specs could be high end, we are mostly deal hunters and would recommend as much performance per dollar spent as possible. Only splurge when you wanted/can afford the budget as long as your requirements are fulfilled first before aesthetic/upgrades. So, if you can don't waste money, you don't. Unless you wanted to splurge, we can help you too hahaha

Then it's settled. Will be using the money to buy good controllers then. Probably will wait a while before upgrading then. Just need an air spray can to clean up the case before moving it.

Thanks a lot for the advice, everyone!
