Hey, I want to upgrade my entire system Except the Motherboard, Ram,hdd and maybe even the psu
now My computer is 3.5 years old
My specs
8gb ram
i3-3220
Motherboard Gigabyte H61M-S1
Asus gtx 650 ti it's also beetween 65~75c on idle so its kinda hot maybe a psu related?

And a generic psu heres pic I took from google https://imgur.com/YJjVAgS
it's exacly the same psu as I have now
it survived 3.5 years just well and also survived a lot of real a lot of power outages in my house
but im afaird If I put gtx 960 instead of my gtx 650 ti it may explode or burn as time goes by
and one more question the Motherboard will be also good to keep right?
Thanks.
