I'm looking to upgrade my PC's processor and I'm not sure whether I have enough power.
My current spec is :
Processor: AMD FX 4300
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 960
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
RAM: DDR3 8GB
Power supply: Crossair VS450
I was looking to upgrade to the AMD FX 8350 any advice?

the fx 8350 would definitely overwhelm a 430w psu, the fx 8350 is also a bad cpu upgrade, it draws a lot of power, gets very hot and costs way too much for the performance it delivers, you're better off buying an older generation intel cpu and motherboard or buying something new like a Pentium g4560 or a ryzen 3 1200
