Completely Upgrading PC

[M_05]

Hi, I am upgrading my pc and will be pretty much replacing everything except the power supply. I am a bit nervous because I am unsure if everything will work correctly and that this will be a new architecture. I am upgrading to a ryzen 5 1600x, gtx 1070, 16 gigs of 3200 mz of ram, and a new motherboard. I am unsure how to do this please help, thanks.

This is as far as i could get it out. Hope it helps

Sorry about it being blurry

the power supply will be fine.

but i would suggest the 1600 over the 1600x.  there is honestly no difference, and itll save you $30

Not bad at all. Fairly new, in fact.  Replacing it would be a complete waste of money... unless you just wanted something more efficient (it's only Bronze) or quieter (you know better than anyone how loud it is since you've already been using it).

Like what?  A G3 or P2?  Because that's the only thing from EVGA that's going to be significantly better.

kinda surprised IBuyPower would use something decent... was thinking these prebuilt companies would put something that barely works.

Maybe it's my "American Pride" speaking, but there's not many U.S. based builders using crappy power supplies.  I mean, not compared to some of the stuff I see come out of the EU or Asia where they're trying to use a VS550 with a GTX1080 card.... and then freak out when the PC shuts down during Furmark.
