of course the cpu is a little bit weak but will work well up to when you will have a chance to upgrade it

I personally am a fan of I5s upgrade the GPU in the future or reduce the GPU to a 265 or 260X and get an SSD, then you waste less money in the future when you upgrade your GPU. the psu is perfect for every single GPU you care to name.
 

I am intending to upgrade in the future. So how big of a power supply should i get? I had heard somewhere that getting a too big power supply might hurt the components or the power supply because it isnt working on its full capacity.

Thanks!
 


it depends whether single card or you're going to do 2 way SLI or crossfire or more in the future.
if a single card then the seasonic 620W bronze fully modular is more than enough for any single card. that currently goes in the USA for $53 or so, which is a fantastic price.
However if you're going to SLI or crossfire then the best bang to buck configuration is 2 gtx 970s in SLI, which at best will only need 750-850W (depending on processor) which you can pick up a rosewell capstone 750W Gold, or an XFX XTR 750 or 850W gold fully modular. these come from $75 to $99. These are the best options.
