Will my PSU suffice?

[British_and_Proud]

Hi,
I'm thinking of changing my computer for better performance. I currently have a HP Pavillion 141-ea (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03936079) but changed the power supply and Graphics to a Coolermaster 550W and a GTX 750TI FTW Ed. It has a MSI 7778 Mobo, which is an A75 chipset which means it only supports FM2, Not FM2+.

I would like to change the mobo to either an AM3 socket or an LGA 1155 socket. I was looking at something such as the FX 8350 or maybe even the FX 9590, but I figured that'd bottleneck my card bigtime. In terms of an LGA 1150/1 I was looking at something like an I5 3570K, because I intend to overclock, and hear everywhere that Intel's cores perform better.

If someone could suggest a sufficient mobo please do
and do you reckon I would be able to do that?

Thanks

Why the 3570K? if i may ask. It's a quite older platform by now.The 4690K (socket 1150) or the 6600K (socket 1151) would be better choices.

For the 3570K would the next,for instance,be a good motherboard,

I looked at the I5 and thought that that model would be okay, because I need something relativley cheap that is overclockable. Would a 550 W PSU hold a 4690K?
I'm just looking for overall better performance, just so it can handle new games decently so I can save up for a big build

The model is okay,but more recent ones will be better.I still use the 3770K and it performs well,but i already have it,if i was buying now would i look at something more recent too.

Yes for the 4690K and a decent gpu is 550watt enough.Make sure it's a decent psu.Look for guidance here,

look at tiers 1+2.

The 4690K could be part of a "big build". 😉

I have a Coolermaster V550M (Tier 1).

Thanks for your help
