Hey guys looking to upgrade my xigmatek 500w psu (unless you don't think I need to).

I've got these specs:

FX8350 (will overclock)

MSI 785O 2GB OC Edition (will overclock)

8gb 1333Mhz RAM

120GB SSD

3TB 7200RPM HDD

4 Case fans (high performance)

CM 212 EVO CPU COOLER

ASRock 990fx extreme3

What psu should I get or should my current psu be ok?

If you aren't planning on X-fire you should be fine. If you are going X-fire, get probably a 700w or even a 650w

CPU: i7-4770k CPU Cooler: NH-D14 RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8gb GPU: EVGA Superclocked 780 ti MOBO: ASUS Maximus VI Gene PSU: Corsair RM 850 Case: Bitfenix Prodigy M

I think you should be fine for now.

you don`t need to .actually you can have a better gpu in the future on same psu

So I'm ok even if I overclock? Was going to go for 4.6ghz and whatever I can push the msi 7850 to

You will be just fine, just don't xfire anytime with that PSU installed as
