Not sure if I've got the appropriate thread here; I'm looking for some advice on upgrading my current gaming desktop. My rig is the following:

Asus GTX 770 2gb graphics card,
Asus Rock Extreme 990x 3 motherboard,
8gb Corsair Vengeance RAM,
CX 600M power supply,
4 fans,
AMD FX 4350 Quad Core 4Ghz,
1TB HDD,
No SSD,
Win 8.1.

I'm wanting to upgrade the cpu, perhaps 6 core cpu as I don't think my motherboard can handle 8 cores. Also, wanting to upgrade my graphics card to a 4gb GTX 970 or 4gb R9 290X. I'm wondering if the power supply is enough, the changes would be compatible and if there'd be an issue cooling?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thank you.

I'm buying a 970/ 290x for about £240, selling my 770 for about £180 and not sure how much my cpu is worth. Not wanting to spend a lot, what's a decent 6 core cpu price?

are you planning to overclock at all? if you plan to make sure to get a hyper evo 212 minimum, you can use fx 6300 for 6 core, fx 8320e for 8 core, or fx 8350 if wanting to spend more, fx 6300 and 8320e close in prices for options.

Not going to overclock, I've got a Corsair water cooler for my cpu and I think I'm going for the fx 8350. Also gonna go for the GTX 970, I'm hoping my Corsair 600M will be enough for both!
