Honestly, a new video card would make more of an impact that a new cpu would. Your psu is fine.

CTurbo :

the thing is that all of those components are 5-6 years old, except the video card, which i've bought about a year ago.

For gaming spec, I7 intel is not ok because later you will get some crashed upon playing the game.
Gaming spec CPU is only AMD. AMD is for gaming and Intel is for office build. Your power supply minimum should in range of 500-500watts plus minus of component watts reduction you will get 500watts in minimum. I suggest you to purchase power supply at 650watts normal spec for gaming power supply box.

If you want to change to AMD, you must change your motherboard as well. If you already change your mind for gaming pupose, intel is not suited.

Zezuzaza is talking complete rubbish. Intel i5 or i7 are the king of gaming CPU's at the moment. Current AMD CPU' are weak and outdated. Until Ryzen releases going AMD CPU is about the worst choice you can make for a gaming PC.

zezuzaza :

yes but my power is 750W. it should be enough or not?

Yeah I don't know what zezuzaza is talking about but pretty much everything he said is incorrect.

zezuzaza :

Only one sentence of that is actually remotely 'true'.
The rest is 100% incorrect.
