Hi. I recently bought gtx 780 and i`m very pleased with performance. But i just want to change other components. Right now i have:

mobo P8B75-V

cpu i5 3470

gpu asus direct cu ii gtx 780 manually overclocked to 1063mhz(1215mhz boost)\1552mhz(6208mhz) without increasing voltage.

hdd western digital caviar blue 1 tb

ram 10 gb 1333mhz kingston

psu corsair cx600m

I want to buy new cpu - i7 3770k(my current cpu struggling in heavy cpu bound games like crysis 2, 3, tomb raider 2013 - outdoors but i7-3770k at 4.4 ghz with HT(crysis 3) can hadle this games judging by youtube videos) and OC it to something about 4.4ghz without increasing voltage. So along with cpu i need new mobo for cpu overclocking. For, example, P8Z77-V PRO. And i also want to buy new ram, something like corsair vengeance 1600 2x4gb.

So here`s my question

Is my psu(corsair cx600m) enough for such build?

On my current rig there`s no problems at all.

Sorry for my english, it`s not my first language.

Thank you.

Hmm. it should be good, but 600 is probably the minimum of what i would advice for a 780, corsair is good but the CX series dont seem to have such a clean reputation like the rest.
If you want to play it safe you can get a better unit like a tx750 or so, since those are very good and probably enough to SLI cards in the future.

Thank you for such quick answer. i am not looking for psu that can handle 780 sli right now, so if my current psu is enough for new rig it`s fine by me. But if i must buy new psu i want to be sure that it`s will be sufficient for 780 sli, probably i will buy second 780 in 2015 so...

Well in that case, i guess the cx600 is enough, but waiting for a few more opinions wont hurt anyone, surely someone who knows more than me may come along.

Actually, some local shop in Russia) So just name a few options. And i think that right now i will go for psu that can handle new rig without 780 sli in mind. I just need to OC 3770k to 4.4ghz.
