I wasn't planning on upgrading my gpu...I was just asking do those parts seem alright. The GPU and CPU are gonna stay, because I REALLY need a new mobo, and I'm on a budget.

I'm guessing that you want to try overclocking your CPU, and adding more HDD space. If so, I recommend getting a PSU of higher quality instead.

You can never go wrong with PSUs from Seasonic.

You can cut costs by getting a cheaper 970 chipset motherboard. It should allow you to overclock your CPU too. The asus M5A97 R2 is a popular choice

Obviously , he want Crossfire . M5A97 R2 is bad for that - x8/x4 .

' Obviously ' . What makes you think that he wants to crossfire ?

That's one way at looking at it. Perhaps we should ask OP to avoid misunderstandings.

RAM? Thermal Paste?
I'm guessing you will be reusing your RAM I would recommend that you get 8GB (whatever you have and add the remainder.)

The PSU that you selected will leave you plenty of room to grow, if you decide to use crossfire in the future.
