Hi everyone
 
well my pc specs are:
 
CPU: I5 3470 (in the future is going to be a i7 4970 with a cooler master hyper 212 evo)
GPU: Asus strix gtx 970 "3.5"gb
HDD: 1Tb
Mobo: GIGABYTE B75M-HD3
RAM: 8GB 1333MHz ddr3
CASE: thermaltake versa 1
 
 
I buy a Corsair cx750w and i see that have some issues and bad reputation...but, this PSU can handle these components  with safety?

That is a fine PSU to use. Also why would you be upgrading a 3470 to a 4790? Doesn't make sense and doesn't give you any benefits really.

Why are you upgrading? For gaming your i5 is fine. If you're rendering/something that needs the extra threads, then just get a 3770k. 

 

As for the psu, that psu can run three 970s (assuming it has the required connectors).

Definitely.. Keep in mind the new 900 series from nvidia are GREAT on power and barely consume any at all! You should be A-okay
