Hi Everyone,

 

I am planning to upgrade my current system at Christmas. I currently have:

AMD FX-8350 4ghz

Corsair H75 Cooler

8GB DDR3 RAM

500W PSU

NVIDIA GTX 660

Coolermaster K280 Case

I will be changing the CPU and motherboard to:

Asus Z97-P Motherboard

Intel Core i7 4790k Haswell CPU

 

Opinions on whether this will be possible please.

 

Thanks!

Yeah it will work, What 500W PSU is that. More than likely fine though.
