I've recently decided on getting this combo; Newegg Combo

It is to replace my Radeon HD 7770, AMD FX 6100, and GA-78LMT-S2 Motherboard. I have a 500W LEPA N Series N500-SA Power supply.

Is there anything I need to know for installing or upgrading? Like do I need a new PSU or RAM (I currently have 8GB DDR3)?

a better quality (xfx, seasonic, FSP, ect.) power supply would be highly recomended.

You will need memory 4GB single stick or 8GB double stick will be fine.

Storage - A hard drive or SSD (over 120GB)

Opperating System (oem if you never want to upgrade - standard if you may upgrade CPU or MB.)

Keyboard, Mouse, DVD-Drive

Case - 2-120mm intake fans, 2-120mm output fans at a minimum.

One bad thing is that the "100" series of the FX chips i.e 4100, 6100, 8100, use Bulldozer architecture, which isn't at all efficient for gaming or other tasks. What I would recommend is any other FX processor, then the "100" series. Processors like the FX 8350 use Piledriver, which is more efficient.
