include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

So we have a baseline to work off of.

What kinds of games do you play?
Some games are graphics limited like fast action shooters.
Others are cpu core speed limited like strategy, sims, and mmo.
Multiplayer tends to like many threads.

You need to find out which.
------------------------------------------------------------
To help clarify your CPU/GPU options, run these two tests:

a) Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
This makes the graphics card loaf a bit.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.

i tested out a few of my games but when turning down the graphics i only got a few more fps in most of the games know my cpu doesn't support pci 4.0 and my gpu does i dont know how much that would affect performance though
