i7 4790K PSU info

[inSAYAN]

I'm getting myself an upgrade since 2011 (Phenom II X4 965BE,ASRock 960 GM-GS3 FX)

Lets cut the talking, I'm getting this:
i7 4790K
ASRock Z97 Pro4
16 GB, G.SKILL Ripjaws series, F3-10666CL9D-16GBXL

and now the main concern: CoolerMaster G550M

Will the PSU be enough for my Gainward GTX 960 and the rest of the system? I do not plan to OC anything (at least for now)

There is also this other option for me to go for a 6600K, DDR4 RAM and MSI Bazooka with my GTX 960.

In the future I'm planing to upgrade to an GTX 1060, when the price drops a little here in Croatia.

Thank you everyone in advace on your comments. o/

If that MSI Bazooka is a Z170 board. I would go with the Skylake build. That way if u wish to upgrade, you will have 2 generations after skylake that can work with the motherboard. And a OC'd I5 6600k can lock horns with a I7 4790k. A side note. if you choose the i5 6600k you will have to provide a cooler yourself. The unlocked skylake processors do not come with a cooler.

Well the MSI Bazooka isn't a Z170 board (I could put a Z170 no prob, let's just think that I will put a Z170)

The MAIN CONCERN is the PSU (CM G550M), if that's enough to push i7 4790K/i5 6600K with my GTX 960 then I'll most likely go with the 6600K + I have a Hyper EVO 212 so that will be ok.

Intel CPUs have significantly lower TDP than that Phenom of yours.
i7-4790k (88W), i5-6600k (91W) vs Phenom II X4 965BE (140W).

After upgrade power draw will be lower.
So if your PSU was able to support Phenom 140W CPU it will have no trouble supporting Intel chips.

About gpus - GTX960 and GTX 1060 use about the same amount of power ~120W. No problem there too.

Final build
i5 6600K
GIGABYTE GA-H170-Gaming 3
16 GB, G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 series, F4-2133C15D-16GRR, DDR4 2133MHz
CoolerMaster G550M

The current PSU that I have is a LC Power LC6600 v2.2, willing to buy a new and maybe a better quality PSU so that's why I'm putting a new PSU

If you're getting a new PSU, might as well go for better tier 1/tier 2 model.
CoolerMaster G series is only tier 3

Running a new K processor on a new H mobo is almost a waste. Getting all those decent parts and yet distinctly denying any and all possibility of opening up the skylake potential with OC. Might as well save some cash and go with the standard i5-6500 or even the standard i7. No need to pay extra for an unlocked cpu if you won't unlock it or can't unlock it on the H board. Any el-cheapo +110 will run 2133, 2400 is better matched for the top end cpus at stock speeds.

Individually those are nice parts picked out, but for actual performance, you keep shooting yourself in the foot.

Thanks, this was a big help

True, I'm shooting myself in the foot if I dont OC it. Yet, there is still that option that I want to OC it. So I'm looking into the future if my investment, so that I dont need to worry for a couple of years.

Might as well get a Z170 now, so you dont have to worry about swaping out a entire motherboard in order to be able to overclock that processor. Also i wouldnt advise a Hyper 212 Evo, i keep hearing how the 212 evo is a huge pain in ass to install on skylake motherboards. I think it has something to do with the ram slots or something. But yea you will be shooting your self in both feet with H170. One foot be the OC, the other be the swaping process.
