Hi guys im planning to buy an i7 7700k but i have an corsair vs550 550watts power supply 80+ rated and an RX480 gaming x 8gb 3 fans and an ASUS H110M-K motherboard and 16gb of ram my question is does my pc have enough watts to run it with an i7 7700k and rx 480 8gb and do i need and do i need an bios update??

bios update, yes.

Only an bios update not an upgrade of power supply??

Because i already have an i5 7400 but i want a better processor

 

[Robin_79]

bios update, yes.

So i dont need to upgrade my power supply and i already have an i5 7400 so do i still need an bios update then??

I'd upgrade that PSU, although the wattage is enough it is poor quality with minimal safety features. Far too many of these die after 1-2 years in a gaming rig and often damage other components when they fail. Gaming pc's put the PSU under high load for long periods of time, you want a good quality unit.
