Build questions.

[Burner1061]

I asked on Tomshardware and Reddit but didn't really get any answers. I was going to make multiple posts but I'll ask all my questions here. I'd put a pcpartpicker link but most of my parts aren't even on the site.

 

I'm starting with a pretty much stock HP Pavilion p7-1534 if someone wants more detailed specs. Please don't say "get a new mobo", I'll be fine with this it's my first build I don't need something crazy.

 

I have 1 stick of 8GB ram in my pc that I'm trying to upgrade, eventually getting get 3 more? But I want to make sure I get the right one. The model number on the current stick is M378B1G73BH0-CK0. Also, what price should I be paying so I know I don't get ripped off.

 

I plan on upgrading to an A10-5800K and a GTX 1650 "Windforce". My power supply is a PS-5301-02 300W. Will I be safe or do I need a new power supply. I can supply info on drives or other parts if that's important.

 

Upgrading from A8-5500 to A10-5800K, will the old CoolerMaster CM12V be fine? Will it be cooled enough if I want to overclock?

 

I also plan on getting a 500GB SSD.

 

Is there anything else I should be thinking of?

 

Thank you.

 

Edit: It is possible to oc the A10-5800K with the MS-7778 mobo right? And the 1650 "Windforce" will for sure fit?

Thank you.

why 32gb of ram and what is your usecase, because you use pretty old parts(athlon). I would rather go with a old intel server chip

Is 32gb good or bad? I just though I might as well use the slots. idk if you mean pc case or what is the use case scenario

use case scenario and typically you use 2 of the 4 slots and get 16 gb why would you spend money on things you don't need. I could populate all sata slots with 16gb HDDs because you could

Well it's going to be my first "real" pc (I have a Core 2 Duo tower but that sucks). School and stuff, maybe gaming. I never had a pc capable of gaming so I don't really know my options with that.
