Plug the new power supply in the spots where the old one is plugged in. Ditto for the video card. If you're going NVIDIA, you'll need to clean the old AMD drivers and install NVIDIA drivers. Then for the SSD, google "how to clone hard drive to SSD."
If you're insistent on a shop doing it, try Tim's Computers or Computer Evolution. Or I'll do it all for like 50 bucks I guess.

I'd rather not do it on my own. I know that the people that have done it before understand how hard/easy it is, and the risks involved.
But the most I've done is reformatted a hard drive, reinstalled windows, and looked inside the case (I didn't even partition the hard drive).
Now, I don't mind trying. I just don't want to make a $1-2k mistake because I don't know what I'm doing. It's worth the money to avoid that mistake.
Plus, I do want the OS on a SSD and i don't know how to clone the HD. I'd like to speed up my Firefox that's starting to lag. There's some interface issues with my dual monitors glitching. And I want to make sure the mobo, ram, pins, and all of the other important attributes are compatible. (And troubleshoot problems if something goes wrong).
I kinda prefer to learn so I can do some builds in the future, but I'll follow your advice on what you think I should do.
