I'm planning to upgrade my PC, the current specs are :

CASE : Cooler Master Elite 310
CPU : AMD FX-8320 clocked at 3.7Ghz on stock cooler
MOBO : ASrock Extreme 3 R2.0
GPU : Unbranded Nvidia Geforce GTX 650
RAM : Unbranded 8GB ddr3 1600mhz ram
PSU : Can't remember the brand but it's a 550w PSU
HDD : Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200rpm

I'm planning to change to a GTX 770, the asus one caught my attention. I'm also plannining to get 750W power supply even if it's overkill, I need some advice for the PSU. I'm also upgrading to 16GB ddr3 1866mhz ram (I know, overkill.) I'm definitly getting the noctua NH D14 to cool my CPU , or the corsair h60. Are those upgrades good idea? Please post your opinions, don't be too negative tho

I honestly don't really care about disk speed, i'm happy so far with my game loads. And windows 8 has amazingly fast boot so the ssd won't change that much.
And for my power supply, I have no idea if it's a 80 plus certified or not, but now that you mention 550w is enough, why not get a 650watt poswer supply?

I saw the evga supernova nex650 for a moderate price, also the xfx pro 650W
XFX PRO 650W : http://www.alternate.de/XFX/PRO650W-Netzteil/html/product/691356?
EVGA supernova nex650 : http://www.alternate.de/EVGA/SuperNOVA-NEX650G-650-Watt-Netzteil/html/product/1042336?

I'd also like to let you guys know i only accept sites that ship to europe since I live in belgium.

EDIT : I've also considered getting the 780 if i get money in time, would 650watt be enough to power all my components with the 780?
