It looks like it will fit physically

But you want to identify that cheap PSU. If it's a single rail +12V PSU of say over 450W then it's likely OK but you know this part matters and why.

Should fit.

What do you mean by stack?

The old core i5 2xxx model could drive a trio of GPUs so when folk ask me if the CPU will bottleneck, I have to write that for any machine that does game now, there is a low chance it will bottleneck.

The AMD A8 isn't that great a CPU but for most games, should be fine.

As to the PSU, you didn't reveal what country so let's nod to the current #1 seller on amazon. It's a single rail so easy to pick that one.

Get the dimensions of the video card and then do a little measuring around the pcie slot.

Take a close up pic of the label on the side of that psu and post it.
