hi guys, I'm trying to upgrade my PC, Specs are as follows:
Gigabyte GA 970 ds3p mobo
Amd fx 8350 be
Geforce gt 730
2*8gb Corsair Vengeance rams
In here the mobo and graphics card are from my older setup
Now my queries are:
*what kind of Power supply should i go for?
*should i go for an aftermarket cooling option, If yes than which kind ?
* should i upgrade my mobo and/or Graphics Card, IF yes than which one?
note: I'm trying to build a decent gaming machine that would not be required to be upgraded for the next 3-4 years
thanks

If you are overclocking, you could run a GTX 970/R9 390 without bottlenecking issues and you could probably get a few more years out of your system with no other upgrades other than the PSU.
