Hey all, I built this PC about 3 years ago and I am looking to upgrade. I found a sweet deal on an i7 4790 and I want to make sure that my motherboard and power supply are ok.

My build: https://gyazo.com/23eccfac66ec929f24b73d6f18fae5a7

Will the stock cpu cooler for my i5 be fine for an i7 4790?
Also I will be buying the GTX 1180 when it comes out next year. Will my 500 watt psu be enough?

Stock Intel cooler should be okay, but you will see warmer temps. If you get the GTX 2080 (not 1180) you will want to upgrade your power supply seeing how it's at the end of its 3 year warranty now. This SeaSonic is a deal right now and has a 5 year warranty.

or if you want something modular that gives you more headroom and is very high quality
