Upgrading my PC

[ToastyTavi]

What I have: fx-8350 4.5ghz stable with +0.000 volts

                     msi 970 gaming motherboard

                     msi gtx 960 gaming 2g

                     sketchy 700 watt "beast" PSU from apevia

                     2x8gb 1600 corsair veng.

                     Z1 neo

                     sketchy kootek 120mm CPU cooler (basically a weird hyper 212)

 

What I plan on adding: asus rx 480 8gb strix

                                     EVGA supernova 750 watt

                                     another 2x8gb ram cause why not

                                    new NZXT H440

                                     nzxt kraken x61

   

                                   how does this sound

1: new psu something more reliable from seasonic,xfx, or a high end corsair/evga psu.

 

2: new gpu such as a 1060 6gb/ rx 480.

 

Unless you go for an i7 6700 the 8350 is fine.

Looks good, if you have an 8350 at stock voltages and 4.5GHz stable you should be able to get to 5Ghz on that with a little added voltage.

 

The gtx 1060 will perform a hair bit better then the 480, especially in dx11, if you play a lot of dx12 games go for the 480.

I'm planning on going for the rx 480 because its basically like a cheap future proofer

thats a single 120mm, I want the 280mm just so my CPU can have that teeny bit extra OC headroom (plus I can gloat about having a 280mm)

750W is overkill, 500W is enough.

I just want 750 so I have room to upgrade (like if I want crossfire)

I still wouldn't recommend it due that the fact that some games scale better than others (Among other issues).

That doesnt make any sense, the PSU performs the exact same no matter what wattage it is, I just want to make an early investment so I dont have to spend more later.

I was referring to CF/SLI.

I was saying I wanted a 760 watt so I could overclock both the CPU and GPU while having a crossfire card while also having plenty of safety room wattage wise
