So i have a IBUYPOWER WA560g with a AMD fx 4300 and was wondering if i can upgrade the psu to around 500w and upgrade the cpu and gpu to a AMD fx 8350 with a gtx 1060? how well would that work out if it would work out at all?

I believe that model comes with a MSI 760GMA-P34 (FX) motherboard. Although, it supports the FX8350, the motherboard itself is very low end. The 760G Chipset is circa 2009 and would not be recommended for any kind of high performance system. It is a no frills model for basic computing.

You may encounter problems due to the low-end design being unable to cool what you propose.
