PSU and SYSTEM SUGGESTIONS

[Metalwell]

Hello,
I want to get a new PC.
FX8350
R9 380X
16GB TEAM DARK RAMS 1600MHZ
GIGABYTE 990FXA
I cant decide on the CPU, at the moment i have one 700W but i get kernel errors sometimes so it might my MOBO is broken cuz its ethernet card is not workin( it was struck by a lightning) my psu might be working fine, but i will get a new case CORSAIR CARBIDE CC SPEC-02 it includes a CORSAIR 650W ,

Do you think this will be enoug? I hope you people will share some other ideas regarding my specs. appreciate it thanks!

Which PSU does that case come? I see on corsair website that it doesn't come with a case. Newegg shows the same:

The answer to your question is that you need a 600 W PSU to handle what you are going to upgrade to. Get an EVGA 650 W G2/GS or Seasonic S12II 630 W.

As for the RAM, get a better brand like GSkill or Corsair.

from a dealer that i buy always they sell it with an CORSAIR 650W, so it is not suprising that they dont sell it on Newegg with a PSU. Can i run this system with 650 watt? and can i fit that system in that case? I have my SSD and audio interface is external, the reason behind that ram selection is that they are cheaper, actually i have 8 gb(4x2) working smoothly! but i want to upgrade it to 16gb cuz i do audio and video renderings as well, can i add another 8 gb to my mobo? this is another question now like 16 gb 4x4.

You can run it with 650 W. Get a better PSU though, than Corsair CX or CXM.
