I have this:

AMD FX8350
Asus Sabretooth R2.0
Corsair Vengeance 16gb 1866 (2x8gb)
Samsung 840evo 250gb
WD Caviar Black 2tb

I'm planning to buy a GTX980 or a R9 280x OC next month so i want to be prepared.


I was thinking of a Corsair RM750 or RM850.

Thanks a lot.

A GTX970 is better value for money, the GTX980 is only 10 faster but costs a lot more.

As for a PSU, 550-650w is more than enough.

Here is a list of quality PSU in a tiered list. Stick to tier 1, tier 2a, and tier 2b. Anything lower should be avoided.

Dont get a Corsair Power supply, they are overly expensive and are not reliable, they die out unexpectedly. Evga G2 is a better and cheaper option or XFX proseries.
