you going nowhere with the GIGABYTE Z97P-D3 , even if is a Z97 mobo...its not well built for overclocking , because bad vrm heatsink and not enough vrm phases

i suggest you an asrock Z97 extreme3 , really cheap and very well built

i suggest a good psu , i do not know which psu you have but usually a good one is
seasonic/xfx/antec hcg/evga B2-G2/rosewill capstone

All z97 boards are overclockable motherboards

A 4th gen intel cpu uses less power then your 3rd generation so you have no worries of increasing your load.
Now you did not say what your 600w psu is so I cant say if it is a quality unit or not.

``All z97 boards are overclockable motherboards``

i think the psu is deluxe 600w but not sure for the model coz there is no label on it don't know why and i`ll change the motherboard with the asrock Z97 extreme3

Hello,

All Z97 motherboards are made with overclocking in mind, but some are better than others

If you don't want to break any CPU speed records, that Gigabyte will be OK (it will do 4 GHz, no worries, just be sure you have a good CPU cooler). BUT, don't try to overclock a system running a PSU such Delux, JNC, RPC (etc, etc...), you risk to lose the entire system.

ALWAYS ALWAYS BUY THE BEST PSU YOU CAN......

If your old PSU worked with the old mb & CPU it will work with the new one too.
There's barely any difference in power requirements.
