Question CPU UPGRADE SHOULD I UPGRADE PSU?

[COD8]

I5 2500T STOCK COOLER
8gb RAM DDR3 DUAL CHANNEL
GTX 960 2gb Zotac edition
PSU OF 420

I want to upgrade to i7 2700K is my PSU enough or do i need to upgrade (BY HOW MUCH )

what the motherboard?
usually don't see 2500t

Your 2500T is a processor with a 45w TDP.
The 2700K is a 65w tdp processor.
I doubt that the difference will be a problem unless you can and will overclock.

Most of your power draw will be from the GTX960 graphics card which is not changing.

If your psu is old or of cheap quality, you may want to consider a replacement, regardless.

If this is an oem pc you best make sure the 2700k is on the support list.

I don't have enough knowledge of overclocking so i will not overclock i will take a look at my psu to see its quality

If your PSU is old and unreliable (cheap) you need to upgrade it to something safe.
