  • GPU: MSI GTX 750 TI OC EDITION
    CPU: AMD 8320 BLACK EDITION
    RAM: KINGSTON DDR3 8 GB
    PSU: CORSAIR VS 650 WATT POWER SUPPLY
    MB: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+

so yeah that was my PC before. And this is my pc now.( i decided to buy a new motherboard because my mine broke in a failed attempt to rebuild my PC for fun)

  • GPU: MSI GTX 960
    CPU: AMD 8320 BLACK EDITION
    RAM: KINGSTON DDR3 8 GB
    PSU: CORSAIR VS 450 WATT POWER SUPPLY
    MB: SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0

I ONLY HAVE ONE CASE FAN IN MY PC. so yeah i don't know what to do here is a picture of my PC

He said in the OP that the PSU was part of the trade.

i wouldnt run a fx8000 series on less than 500w. i was running my fx6300 on 650w

It's not a matter of wattage, but a matter of quality. As long as the PSU is a good one, you can run an FX CPU and a "normal" ~200W GPU on a 500W PSU not problem. Not OC'd of course, but such a system won't break 400W, which is 80% of the output of a 500W PSU. But we should try to help the OP, not worry over a PSU. The 960 is a very meager 120W GPU so the entire system at stock settings won't break 300W. The VS series isn't very good, but it should handle this ok.

it allows ambient temps more contact with your components. in my old case i was having serious temp issues and it would cause real graphical issues even in simple games after about 90 minutes of playing. at first i was quitting, shutting down, and coming back in an hour or two and playing again, but that was frsutrating so then i started taking the side panel off, and taaa-daaa! temps wouild come down 8-10 degree celcius and game play would revert to normal.

back when i was having that issue i only had 1 case fan, a measly 90mm exhaust. i bought a good exhaust fan and a good intake fan (still both only 90mm cuz thats all it allowed) and then i took the front panel off permanently because that was constricting my intake fan (i could tell by the noise it was making around the edges of the front panel). was able to put the side panel back on and keep normal temps.
