CPU??
The 8350 is fine mate .
Paired with a 480 youll be able to play just about anything ( barring a few select titles) at 50-60fps ultra with no problems.

There's no compatibility issues at all.
The gammaxx 300 is not the best cooler in the world but for £14 its a damn good buy & will run pretty much silent under load.
Not an overclockers cooler by any means but it has paste preapplied & uses the stock amd mounts so takes 5 minutes tops to fit.

Rx 480 nitro 4gb ?? Close to twice as powerful as your 760 2gb without a doubt - best buy in the UK at the minute by a long stretch imo.

Should you absolutely be an nvidia fanboy you can grab a 970 4gb or a 1060 3gb for the same price but theyre both slightly lesser cards IMO ( & I own two...

If you were running a substandard board before which was throttling the CPU it would never have hit high clocks under heavy load.

The stock amd cooler is incredibly noisy mate so that's probably your noise issue for one

Did you replace , reapply thermal paste when refitting ??
I would suggest an aftermarket cooler in all honesty , & yea as the other guy stated you are absolutely due a GPU upgrade.
The old 760 is going to struggle with today's titles badly.

What's your country & budget??

Yeah i had a pretty bad board before hand couldn't get the full potential out of the CPU with it hence the upgrade,so it has got nosier because it can now hit higher clocks?makes sense i suppose.
Yeah i replaced the paste as well.
I'm from England and not sure on budget to be honest if its worth the money but id say mid to high end stuff id like to get so it lasts few years.
Thanks

I'd go with a deepcool gammaxx 300 & a 4gb 480 on an purely bang for buck basis at current UK prices mate.
Can't go wrong with either at their price points.

Both from ebuyer , free next day delivery because of the GPU.
I'm assuming you're currently using the stock cooler at that ? Correct me if I'm wrong.
