Hi this is my current build, Just looking to upgrade the CPU to the AMD FX-8320e, basically just wondering should I upgrade anything else when changing to the new CPU ?, Will be getting a new graphics card soon as well, I'm going for the Asus GTX 950 Strix. The reason I'm changing CPU and Graphics Card is streaming on twitch and making videos, any help is appreciated! Living in Ireland so be changing to Euro, The FX-8320E and GTX 950 is about 330euro from Amazon, only looking at Amazon because don't know any places that are reliable and good that send to Ireland Will be upgrading nearly everything eventually, Really don't like the case so thinking about the NZXT 530
