Okay, I'm upgrading my PC and kind of undetermined of what I should do. That's what I have:
Motherboard: Asus P8 H61-M LX (Second Generation);
CPU: I3 2100 31.Ghz;
GPU: AMD R7 260x 2Gb;
PSU: Corsair CX 430W;
HD: 500 Gb;
RAM: 4Gb;
What I'm aiming: I5, 1Tb HD <- that's absolutely my goal, however I ended in the following problem: my motherboard only supports the second generation, so I decided to change it, and I thought the Asus Z97M-PLUS/BR was a good idea, along with an I5-4460. To make things better I noticed I would need a new cooler, so I chose the Corsair H60.
In other words:
Motherboard: Asus Z97M-PLUS/BR;
CPU: I5-4460;
Cooler: Corsair WaterCooler Hydro Series - High Performance H60
HD: 1Tb 7200rpm;
GPU: AMD R7 260x 2Gb;
PSU: Corsair CX 430W;
Ram: 4Gb (for now);
Now I'm afraid my PSU wouldn't support all these new things, so I have 3 questions:
1º Is this new build a good idea? Will this CPU work well with my GPU? Is there any better option?
2º Will I need a new PSU? I've read somethings about this, but I'm really praying to every God hoping it won't be necessary.
3º I think I will need a new case, any recommendations? (I loved the NZXT 410 Phantom, but the price....).
Thanks for all the attention.
