Hi Guys

I wanted to know if i should be changing this PSU or if its ok as im worried after reading a lot about cheap PSU's
I currently use a
Asus M5A97 R2.0 motherboard
AMD phenom ii x4 965 black edition at stock(not overclocked as dont know how)
HD7870 gpu
8Gb Kingston Hyperx Grey 1600mhz DDR3 Ram
60gb SSD
1Tb HDD

I am wanting to upgrade my CPU from the 965 to the Fx8350 and dont want to ruin it by having a poor PSU any help would be grateful cheers

Have never heard of powercool. But nonetheless, I would never risk all of my components by using a lower quality PSU.

If and when you do upgrade to the 8350, I would upgrade your PSU as well.

I think that PSU is all right for your build, and nothing should happen to your new processor.
It's not really a best make so you could eventually consider of getting a 80plus Corsair/Antec/Zalman psu.
