Alright so I was thinking about upgrading my PC to have this gtx 980 ti - http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-GTX-980TI-Gaming-Graphics/dp/B00ZPEAFXI/ref=pd_bxgy_147_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0QTXK8KBNVZT07V9PV0J and to have this intel i5 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KPRWB9G/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1UJOAT9O5I4GQ&coliid=I3AZ4Z291Q4R6V

Here are my current PC specs:
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-4350 Quad-Core Processor 4.20GHz (which will be replaced with the i5)
Ram: 16gb
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series (which will be replaced with the gtx 980 ti)
Motherboard: Gigabyte Technology 970A-UD3P
Power Supply: 600W (I think, it says CX600M on it).

I'm also a little worried about my pc overheating. Currently my PC will often get to temperatures of 34.5 degrees Celsius and when gaming up to 40-50 degrees Celsius. 50 being max. Now maybe this is just due to the amd GPU or so but I was a little worried that these temperatures may be a problem. I have one big fan on the right of the case which isn't blocked off so it can let out a lot of heat.

no, you would need an intel chipset based motherboard to get an i5

i would not run a 980 ti on that power supply either, it is a budget unit not made for serious gaming system




you can upgrade to a fx 8350

then i would get a good 550w power supply, along with a gtx 970
