So i was planning to get i5 3470 3.2 ghz upgrade so i need to change my motherboard as well.The new build should contain :
Intel Core i5 3470 3.2 ghz
1 intel cooler on processor
8gb of ddr 3 ram memory working at 1600 mhz
1 hard disk 500gb
1 optical dvd/cd drive (not necessary)
Nvidia GTX 750 Gigabyte OC 1gb edition (Im planning to change it to GTX 1050 some time later)
The question is my current PSU good enough,its Enermax 30A on 12V and its 400W
 
It is enermax ligerty ELT 400 AWT

That's a low quality/generic PSU model, if I'm not mistaken. Not the very best in terms of quality/efficiency. Just a basic 80 PLUS unit. I won't actually recommend using this unit to power up any GAMING PC, despite the unit having a combined output of 30A, on the 2 x +12V rails.

I suggest you grab some other high-quality PSU model. You shouldn't risk using this PSU for the GTX 1050 card as well.

Well now im currently using
Intel Core 2 quad q6600 and same configuration like said before and it runs it pretty good i have been using it for past 3 years.
Will it be able to run the system without gtx 1050 (with my current graphics card gtx 750) since that way im only changing motherboard,processor and ram memory?
