Yes and No. It won't fit in your Dell case so you'll have to get a new case and if you use the Dell power supply, you will need an adapter to make it work with a new motherboard.

The case is really up to your preferences in looks. I prefer Antec and Lian-Li cases. Personally if I had the cash I would go for the Lian-Li V1200 Case. It has a unique design and looks good. As for power supplies, I'm a fan on Antec and OCZ power supplies. They may seem pricey, but they are good power supplies that provide more stable power and reliability than the cheaper generic brands. Asus is a good motherboard company and I would go with one (I have an Asus motherboard for my AMD system).
