Maybe, maybe not.. If they used 4x1GB sticks to make the 4GB of DDR3 memory that's currently in the PC, then you would have to throw out 2 sticks of 1GB to install the 2 sticks of 2GB and you'll only have 6 gigs..

You should be ok, but you might not be able to use some bays.

No way man.. In these mini-torwers you can expect less than 100mm of clearance.  That heatsink alone is 115mm high... You must keep your heatsink below 100mm of height for a mini-tower. Although your PSU isn't directly on top of the CPU, it looks like there is a side case fan that is. 

WHOA at them offering an upgrade that doesn't fit in the case?  I think your mobo can have up to 16GB RAM with 4GB x 4 sticks config, so you wouldn't be maxed out with the 4GB RAM upgrade. Have you ever considered the possibility of building your own? It seems to me like they charge the normal Antec gaming case and PSU prices when you upgrade through this site, no disccounts are offered on them despite the fact that upgrading means you won't be getting the default case and PSU.. Just a thought..

Here is the case they are using for that build APEVIA X-DREAMER3-BK Black Metal ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail 59.99

Which means like Sid said above you cannot do that upgrade on the HS&F at all. Now you can put in 2 X 4850s but with the cooling in that case you will run in to overheating issues as well.

Yea, that HSF is huge.. It's actually 141mm in height and 115 is the length..

Also keep in mind that  some of these ebay sellers are known to ship all the parts and not ship the system fully built..  ie: Some assembly required..  Sending a system fully built is more likely to get damaged in transit.  Packing the whole computer in a box meant for just the case, isn't going to protect your hard drives from the sudden impacts and such that having them individually wrapped in bubble wrap would provide.
