PC upgrade

Ohh I sort of glossed over the PSU part, you'd probably want 650+ watts for a 980ti.

 

 

visit you local power supply calc

I wouldn't recommend it, but if you did decide to, I'd maybe underclock the GPU maybe a little just to be safe.

I've had good experiences with Coolermaster PSU's, so I can safely recommend their GM series, there is a 650 and a 750 watt series but I'd go for the 750 just because it's the price difference is often marginal, the higher end series, Vanguard is also pretty good (the one that I have): it's gold rated and semi modular. For an alternate I know that the EVGA G2 series is very good as well (probably better than the Coolermasters)

Obviously the EVGA G2 would be best case scenario, as a cheaper alternative I'd probably go for this: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-110-B1-0750-VR/dp/B00K85X23O/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1451629589&sr=1-4&keywords=750+watt+power+supply

so that would not suffice?

[soaringchicken]

it's got 4.5 stars so I can't see why not.

Great i shall try it! Thx for everyone's help i thought i was gonna get shunned for such the bottleneck my system would have but all turned out well

More affordable for me. Also keep in mind my current Mobo uses AM3+ so if i stick with FX Series i will also save money in the mobo. I do know i need to update my modo soon to but i would rather be latter.

Now that you're upgrading, trust me, get a new MOBO. And If you want to save money get something like a 4460, or even less If youre really tight.
