other parts are fine.

 

that upgrade is good

[minibois]

Good upgrade. Couldn't have suggested anything better in that price range myself ^^

[Nishizumi]

I would say PSU so that you would have more upgrade room in the future for more power hungry cards. PSUs are things that can last many different builds if you pick a good quality one with enough wattage. But yeah, those upgrades are perfect.

[LokiFire]

Go for the R9 390 and wait for another time to get the SSD.

[don_svetlio]

if the PSU is EVGA W1 80+ then that's the first thing to upgrade.

Forget the SSD, it's a waste of money until you get the core of your system strong. Put that money towards upgrading that so-so R9 380 to a badass R9 390.

XFX are SeaSonic rebrands so anything from them is good.

R9 390 with a W1 500? That reeks of "house fire" to me.

[Arc_Jester]

All of XFX's PSUs are made by Seasonic so they're all good.

Yeah, SSD is nowhere near the night and day difference it's always hyped as. But a 390 is night and day better than a 380 in gaming.

[DarkBlade2117]

Yeah any XFX or EVGA B2, G2 and GS.

Also any SeaSonic

Yeah, you're right, a new psu is a must.

650 watt xfx psu

XFX units are awesome and usually on sale cheap. They're usually not modular, but modularity isn't worth paying for when you're doing a cpu and gpu upgrade.

Perfect for a 390. SSDs are nice luxuries since you load into games a little quicker, but the 390, 4460, and XFX psu are the meat of your upgrade and what matter for gaming performance.

[SeanAngelo]

it is   will any xfx one be fine or are there particular models to get

yes, XFX psu's are decent

 

and the new upgrade path is perfect! 650W is plenty.

[Arc_Jester]

-snip-

650W is plenty for any single GPU system and those parts look just fine.

They are all solid unit's, whoever you heard bad news from has no clue.

 

The Strider series especially are insanely good.

[pcman365]

That is a good upgrade.

should that be able to handle ultra 1080p in most games?
