I'm planning on upgrading my CPU and motherboard very soon since my 6600k and Z170-P is pretty outdaded by now and can't perform as I'd like it to on the latest games. So far I've been fine with my 500W PSU with the 6600k @ 4.3GHz but I thought that it might be wishful thinking to upgrade to a Z370 and an 8600K overclocked to a decent amount and still keep the 500W PSU. I'd just like to confirm if I would need to upgrade and if so, what would be a good option? Thanks.

Do you have a recommendation for a decent specific PSU though? I'll probably go for 650W.
