no. that GPU is extremely low end and the power supply is oversized

Msi 970A-G46 < The motherboard has a poor power and thermal design , not a good match for 8320 or 8350.

Ok I will exchange it but ...... I also want to upgrade my GPU in near future so then my new XFX 550W power supply can handle new generation graphics card...I will upgrade my GPU 2-years later (I will buy Mid end Graphics card)

I will run a 770 if you had one.
