    - Will the PSU (about 4 years old now) be able to handle the new equipment. I don't see why it wouldn't.
    - I'm leaning towards getting an ASUS PB278Q. Would the GFX card be OK for that and could it do 2560x1440
    - I reckon the floppy drive is out. Would it be a good idea to try and find some USB device (cardreader or maybe just some USB ports?) for the front of my case?

    PSU is fine, newer parts actually use less power than the ones a few years ago.

    Look up some benchmarks of the 7950 @ 2560x1440. It should handle it better than most cards but it's still a lot of pixels!

    I didn't know anyone still used floppy disks, get a usb 3 frond panel and usb 3 memory stick.
