Quick Question

Go to solution Solved by Polyvalent,

Of course.  Have fun with your new toys.

I just wanted to make sure before I purchase these items and since this website has the best users. I wanted to know My current rig is a I5 3570K 3 GB Gigabyte windforce GTX 680 8 gbs of Corsair Vengeance RAM a M4 120 gb SSD and a 1 tb hard drive and my Power supply is a 800 watt Corsair GS. Now my question is could my power supply handle the new 980 16 gbs of either corsair vengeance or hyper x ram and a I7 4790K? Because I feel like upgrading now and correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the 680 and 980 pins the exact same so I just have to unscrew my current 680 and plug the 980 in? and here is a pic of my current rig for reference if there is enough room etc http://i.gyazo.com/ae80481d4aec50852831f13ffa63c80e.png oh and my case is a cooler master cm storm scout 2

It'll be plug and play, but you really don't need a 4790k and 16gb of ram if only for gaming.

Your CPU and RAM are perfectly fine bud.  Just go for the 980 and save yourself some bucks for a CPU cooler :P
