I know the title is confusing. Anyways, i'll try to make it short and sweet.
I currently have:
i5 3570k (OC'd to 4.3)
GTX 980 (stock overclock msi)
8gb ram (2 sticks of 4gb 1600)
SSD
3 WD black/green
CORSAIR CX 600
That is my main gaming rig here^
I'm building a Plex media server:

For those who don't want to click the link:
AMD Fx 8320
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard
8 gb of ram
no gpu, just using the slowish on board, which will be plenty for initial setup
EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 80+ GOLD
and a few more items that don't matter
I will take advice on revising the plex build if someone thinks I could do something better, my budget was 550, so I am pretty close to it. However, my question wasn't about the build in general.
It was actually about the power supplies. I have only recently learned that the CX 600 is crappy tier four and generally not meant for overclocking or higher end gaming builds. Which kinda bums me out, since I already have it.
Since I don't want to spend the money for 2 EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 80+ GOLD psu's, I'd like to keep using the CX 600 for one of the builds.
So multiple questions:
Would you guys recommend getting another psu and getting rid of the CX 600 all together?
If no, which build would you guys put it in? I was going to put it in the plex build since the only thing drawing power mostly will be the 8320 since there will be no gpu and I don't see it using more then 150W, since I'm only going to give it a mild 4.2/4.4 OC.
Again guys, feel free to revise my plex build, as this is my first one, I chose the AMD 8320 for the true 8 cores, don't really wanna drop another 200 bucks on an i7 eight core, as the 8320 has a pretty good passmark rating. Any and all advice is appreciated!!!
