Dear Community,

I'm planning on upgrading my motherboard, RAM, CPU and CPU Cooler soon.

I'll be swapping my H81M-P33 V3 with a B350 Tomahawk so I can have a Ryzen 7 CPU :) .

I'll be swapping my i5-4460 to an AMD Ryzen 1700X.

For RAM I will swap my HyperX Fury 16GB (DDR3) to 2x4gb Corsair Vengeance LTX 3000MHz.

And last but not least, I will swap my Intel Stock Cooler for a NZXT Kraken x62 (with am4 support ofcourse.)

Will my current PSU (VS 550W) still be enough to power this all?

I've got one more question about my storage; do I have to change HDD, or won't there be any problems after I installed all of these components?

Thanks in advance!

The VS series from corsair is not recommended, spring for a new one... I wouldnt upgrade with that psu :) get a seasonic or corsair rmx
