I need help upgrading my PC

Computer upgrade.
Hello guys!
Hoping there is somekind of tech genoius here, who can help me here BigGrin
Atm I got a gamer pc, and I wanna upgrade it.
I got Antec 900 two v3, Amd Readon HD 7850, Intel quad core 2.83GHz (Q9550), 4 GB kingston ram, 8 GB Crosair vengence, Asus p5p43td Mobo And a 500 W PSU.

I'm thinking about buying
Asus M5A99X EVO r2.0 PRO
AMD FX-6300 Black - AM3+

Any issues with that? or do I need a new PSU?

I would go FX8320 for a bigger upgrade! PSU will still be fine.

Cool thanks! And there aint that big a diffrence on price. But my PSU won't have problems? and I would yet agian have a good pc?

Looks like a good upgrade.

I don't know why you have RAM from Corsair and Kingston at the same time, that's not normally considered a good idea.
Other than that, we can't tell you if your PSU is good enough because 500w PSUs deliver very different amounts of power. Some perform like 250w PSUs, and some perform like 600w PSUs. We'll need the model of the PSU.

No problems and since you selected a good board you can even OC the FX8320 past 8350 clocks with a good budget aircooler like http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2

Rationale :

If it powers his current Q9550 rig it will power the new rig regardless of CPU having still the same GPU.

I had 4 gb Kingston, and I wanted to upgrade. But there where no kingston avalible in the store that worked with my MOBO. Thats why I'm buying some new upgrades

For about $15 more, you could get a much better i5 4440 and an Asrock B85 pro4.

That's not certain. The FX-8320 takes more power than the Q9550, even when the FX-8320 isn't overclocked.
