AMD FX-8350 AMD R7 260 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-78LMT-USB3 (Socket M2) 31 °C 650 watt corsair PSU

Are there likely to be compatibility issues with third party coolers or do I not need to worry about it fitting on the CPU? It was built by DinoPC.com The current temps are 43 degrees C. That doesn't seem too bad but I'm running very light with only chrome and Steam app open.

I think I have at least three case fans. I have no idea what the heatsink is, it's just the one that came with the PC, nothing special I don't think :S I'm not overclocking the CPU either. If I find a way of keeping the temps down and the fans quiet, would the 8350 still last me ok as a gaming CPU?

My PC is having trouble taking the strain that this superhot super-inefficient beast is putting it under. It's British Summetime, temperatures are high, the PC fan is going like crazy and it only takes a few Chrome tabs and a game to get the CPU usage between 50%-70%, which send the fans into a...

I'm ok on the PSU wattage, I'm just wondering if the MSI R9 390 has the same amount of slots as the GTX 970 MSI twin frozr.

Thanks a lot guys, this has given me peace of mind. I think I'll go for the Corsair 750Watt since I'll be getting a second hdd further down the line.

Must it be a Corsair? I know Corsairs have a good reputation but the Alpine and ACE ones are a lot cheaper.

Cool. Is 750 watt too much?

I don't want to spend too much on a PSU. £75 is my limit.

I was thinking of upgrading to a 750watt. Also I think the gpu would fit, my case is a Zalman Z3.

I have an FX-8350 with an R9 260 and I want to upgrade the gpu to a GTX 970. But I only have a 450w Corsair PSU. Should I upgrade my psu and to what wattage? And if someone knows about this stuff. Will the gpu fit my motherboard? Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-78LMT-USB3 (Socket M2) 31 °C
