So whats the downside if I chose to not get rid of it? Whats going to end up happening/being a problem?

Thanks for clearing that up, not stressed on if it's the most power efficient or whatever. I replied to your previous post btw

Right okay, bit out of my depth on that but what does that essentially mean? Are you saying the PSU will eventually just stop working in a year or something, so I should upgrade to a more modern one now to avoid this?

Firstly, thanks for being willing to help me out here Really looking for a white matx case to make as RGB as possible, I like the tempered glass on the Corsair one which is why I chose it. Any alternatives you might suggest? I mean the PSU I've had has always done me good, so I didn't think there'd be any point in upgrading it at all if I'm being honest As for the MB I heard its VRMs might be an issue if I'm looking to overclock but I'm not looking for that, I'm also not really interested in moving up to 32GB RAM so the memory slots aren't an issue I believe going to 3000 from 3200 with the RAM I've chosen only saves me like £3, I've already upgraded the CPU from a 1600 to a 2600 and the SSD from a 120gb to a 240gb, so I've already increased its budget as high as it can really go. An extra £20 for a sweet MB would be nice but I can't afford it on top of the upgrades I've already made I already have the 970 and the CX 600M PSU, everything else I'm looking to buy - thoughts?

Right okay I understand now, so what do you think is wrong with my current PSU?

Right okay, I think I'll stick with the original MB then and hope that it's been updated to the new BIOS. Many thanks for your help!

You're not really explaining, are you saying you think I've wrongly distributed my budget in regards to the RAM and cooler?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, you're saying you think its a bad idea to be pairing the RAM and cooler I've chosen with the PSU from my old build? Why would that be?

Right, d'you think I'd be fine with the original B350 one that's on my build then? Because the B450 boards are a good £15-25 more which might be a bit too much since I've added in the additional £30 into upgrading to the 2600 and 250gb SSD

Check the list I just posted, apologies

Just posted on the MB section about that, because when I changed the 1600 to 2600, the partpicker website said I might have to go through the BIOS update bullshit since the one I chose is a B350 board. Would like to avoid that at all costs which I believe means I'm after a B450 board, any advice on good options for as cheap as possible?

Need a motherboard for this build, but I think the one I've already selected will need the BIOS update since its B350. So I'm looking for a reccomendation for a B450 board, just need it to be as cheap as possible. As many suggestions as possible would be amazing, thanks!

- Damn I had no idea! Put this together ages ago so I hadn't come across that, will definitely get the 2600 - thank you! - Well it isn't that I need it whatsoever if I'm being honest, just after RBG loveliness and I've always wanted the block to sit over the CPU instead of an air cooler - Again, thank you. 250gb is only £10-15 more vs a 120gb so I'll upgrade that - Already have one, left that off of the list Anything else you can see that's glaring out at you? Would appreciate any advice

Yeah I saw but I guess I wasn't entirely sure if I trusted it completely haha. Thought I'd come here for clarification, many thanks
