I'd suggest going for the Hyper 212 EVO (since the Cryorig H7 seems to be out of stock and the beQuiet! Pure Rock is overpriced now).

 

The problem with your PSU is not that it cannot supply enough power for your build but rather the quality of it is lacking. You should be able to pick up a Corsair CX550M or CX650M for the same price.

Final Upgrade build, look good? xD Im basically buying a whole new PC!

I'm assuming you're talking about my recommendations of the CX550M and CX650M?

 

The old green models had that 'rep' of being not all that great. These new grey CXs are custom designs from CWT, with DC-DC regulation, better capacitors, a rating of 40C, all-black cables and a five year warranty. Overall giving much better voltage and load stability and I dare say 'better' than the Seasonic S12II and M12II which are old group regulated designs.

If that's the case then I suggest OP go for it. Word on the street says CX's are not that great, and word on the streets have never failed me.

This is a signature.

Unfortunately, word on the street for these grey CXs doesn't spread quick enough so quite a few people still categorise them as 'bad'. Which is a shame because they're great little budget units with semi-modularity.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

I would agree as I have been using mine for about 6 months everyday for an embarrassing amount of time XD, but then again, im asking you guys for help.

Ending Price Result. So If I sell these things i replaced, Im guessing I'll get around $200 for all of it, meaning I've only really spent around $250 for a 100+ fps difference xD PC MASTER RACE! 

Quick question, why not reuse your current RAM?
