Ok so I have decided I want to upgrade my CPU to the following.
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/amd-fx-8350-black-edition-vishera-8-core-s-am3plus-40ghz-16mb-total-cache-125w-retail
I am not bothered about going intel or anything, I currently have an AMD phenon II x6 1090T. It works fine but just fancy more power, more cores and my current motherboard just can't handle a decent stable overclock which was my initial idea, could only get to around 3.6ghz stable even with an H80 liquid cooler.
So to get this CPU I would need A mobo upgrade. I am thinking this one.

Now I know that motherboard has the correct chipset to use the CPU effectively, I like the looks of it.
I currently have a corsair 600w Builder series PSU. So my final question is, would this PSU do? or would I be cutting it fine?
The rest of my specs are:
MSI 780 Gaming edition 3GB (recommended 600w PSU)
2 hard drives
8 GB ram
H80 Liquid cooler
4 case fans.
