Hello all my old P4 is showing it's age when it comes to editing video so fancy a upgrade but don't want to spend to much money so have been looking at below

Intel Core i5 650 3.20GHz (Clarkdale) (Socket LGA1156)
Asus P7H55D-M Evo Intel H55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 microATX Motherboard
OCZ Gold 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 (1333MHz)

problem is i want it to fit into my Antec NSK 2480 case and don't really want to buy a new power supply so wondered will the stock cooler which comes with the i5 fit into the case and will the power supply have enough guts to run the setup

Don't bother with the 650. Spend the extra 9 quid and get the i5 750, it will offer you a better performance. Also, the AMD route is a very attractive one, if you wished to take it.

This.

and if your mostly using it for games the i5 750 is the best option, so fast.

check this i5 750 vs 1055T, http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/109?vs=147 game performance is at the bottom of the charts.
