Hi all. I am rma ing my asrock extreme 4 am3 board and was going to jump ship to intel while im at it and sell my old fx 6300.

Will a 450w superflower be up to the job? Gpu is a 7870xt which will upgrade in a few months if the newer cards prove to be a major jump up and are a reasonable price.
Any good bundles out there?

Will i see much of a boost in performance with this upgrade?

Thanks folks

I was thinking of going for something like a MSI gaming 5 board but not sure if they are any good or just overpriced.

The MSI MPower Z97 Seems like a good board for the price.
You should check it out!
Hope you build works out for you!

450W is loads for a single GPU build.

I've a gigabyte GA Z97P D3 I'm happy enough with, the ASRock Extreme 3s review well too
