issues:

Overclocking motherboard and aftermarket cooler for a locked i3.
low quality PSU. Change the Rosewill capstone or Antec, Seasonic, XFX.

The XFX550 is a VERY good PSU. What games are you planning to play? With that high end of a GPU, you would benefit from an i5 in most all games.

so change to i5 and keep the cooler and mobo?

games include csgo. dota. lol. maybe a few high ends like watchdogs?

IMO you could get better performance if you dropped the SSD and get an i5 with R9 280 GPU
check my next post

You will need an i5 if you want any hope of playing watchdogs.

The XFX 550 is a MUCH better quality PSU and I strongly recommend it over the 600b here.

Both of those use a low quality PSU. It is as poor as the CX units from Corsair. The B2 unit is the good one.
