Can my power supply handle my new CPU?

[WarTractor]

About half a year ago I got a new PSU and GPU in an upgrade for my computer. It works well but I've noticed that when I put my hand on the exhaust of the PSU it feels somewhat hot while under full load. Now I've been thinking about upgrading my CPU to the AMD FX-8370 but I'm worried that the extra power that it will draw will push my PSU too far and even though it should just shut down if it's too much, I don't want to buy the processor just to realize that it won't work in my system. Will the CPU cause my PSU to output more heat or should I be fine?

CPU: Intel (R) Core(TM) i7-4790S @3.2 GHz
GPU: GTX 980 Ti
Motherboard: Don't know
PSU: Corsair 760W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
OS: Win 10

Should be totally fine, though not sure if its a good upgrade the 4790s should out perform the FX 8370.. and also you will need a new motherboard that support the FX 8370

The FX-8370 is MUCH slower and draws MUCH more power than the i7 you already have. It's a severe downgrade. Why do you want to change to it?

I don't know much about CPUs. I saw it had 4.0 GHz and 8 cores and thought it was better than my current CPU. Can you suggest a good CPU under $400?
