hi guys. I am a enthusiastic gamer playing world of warcraft and hoping to be able to stream in very good quality (atleast 720p). I am looking at upgrading a few parts as my pc doesnt seem to be able to handle the stress of running the game (in low settings at ~40 fps) and xsplit (program i use to stream). My cpu usage is sat around 99%...I am looking at getting the following:
Case: Cooler Master HAF XM Midi Tower £100
CPU: Intel® Core i5-3570K Processor £180
Mobo: MSI Z77 MPower, Socket-1155 (has bluetooth & wi-fi & ethernet built in) £150
My current computer specs are as follows:

My questions/worries are;
Would i be able to buy the new case/motherboard/cpu with everything be compatible?
Is the cpu a decent upgrade for what i want and will i see a difference in quality?
Is there anything i need to know about the parts before going ahead and taking apart my current pc to build into a new case?
If i use the new case/motherboard/cpu will i be able to make up my new rig with my current pc parts?
If there is any information you need what i have missed off i am very sorry and please just let me know how to acquire it and i will do so.
Thanks in advance
