The power supply will be able to handle the board and processor, assuming you mean to keep the rest of your system the way it is. The board will physically fit inside the case with little modification, but you should verify the configuration of the backplate (the I/O shield) of your current computer with the one on the new board - they do differ sometimes. Tyan has a description of various ATX backplates at http://www.tyan.com/html/atx_backplate.html If the ASUS board won't fit, there may be one from another good vendor (Tyan, FIC, Gigabyte, Soyo, etc.) that will.
