What's your current PSU?

Yes all those are good upgrades.

That is a very nice upgrade. The CPU upgrade on its own is already fantastic. And the GPU upgrade is also great, you will definitely see a performance boost in games and heavy daily tasks.

no the motherbard is the correct socket on the first upgrade i was just wondering is the mobo u suggested better

robbie09 :

The motherboard that Blackbird suggested is of a higher quality. This will mean better temperatures and better reliability. However, depending on what speed your original memory runs at, the non-Z series boards cannot handle memory sticks with speeds higher than 1866. It will downgrade to 1866 if it is any higher than that.
