So, at the moment, I'm running a FX-4100 OC'd(Stock Voltage) to 4.2GhZ off of a Thermaltake 500w PSU. I'm looking to upgrade to either the FX6300, the FX8150, or the FX8320. From what I'm seeing the FX8150 should give much better gaming results than my old cpu, and it also comes with a liquid cooler as a package. I'm just concerned I'll have to buy another PSU as well. I'm running a GTX 660ti as well. (Sorry if the English is poor, it's not my firest...or second language XD). Thanks and have a good one!

I've also tried the PSU calculators, but I'm nooby and am not sure if I'm doing it correctly.

if your going to upgrade make sure its a vishera core. If you want cheap go 6300 if you want to spend 200 get the 8350. But from everything Ive read the 6300 is amazing.
