I'm sorry, First time trying to move into PC building. I currently have an alienware x51 which I bought a 960gtx reference for. It worked out o.k but i noticed it heating up to about the mid 80's after 30 minutes of guild wars 2 at the highest setting.

So I decided I wanted to move the 960gtx, hard drive, I7-2600 CPU as well as the 8 gig memory. While buying a new motherboard, Case and Power supply. I'm very new to all of this but after my experience with the x51 I would like to start heading towards the right direction.

I would appreciate any help.
