Looking to upgrade my cpu and mobo.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QHdGMZ

All I really do is play World of Warcraft and stream every now and then. I'm really looking to have better fps while gaming. I'm currently using a fx 8350 and a msi 970a-g-43 mobo. Also something else I'm curious about is if my psu will be able to handle it. I'm using a CX 600 PSU. My gpu is a Geforce gtx 970. Might be interested in overclocking down the road.

^^^I have the same setup minus the PSU but it games quite well.


Don't worry about this or the memory, the PSU I know 100% sure will work and with the memory not everything is tested so there's quite a few missing from the QVL. For that motherboard though you need to make sure that the memory is in slots A2/B2 (slots 2 & 4) or XMP (Asus calls it DOCP) won't work.

This is the same exact kit as I have, it works.
