4GB DDR3 Corsair value select RAM
500 GB 7200rpm SATA HDD
120 GB SSD SATA interface
GTX 960 2GB Strix OC Edition

1front LED fan cooler master 120 mm fan
1 back regular cooler master 120 mm fan
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo CPU cooler with 1 90 mm fan

USB peripherals
1 USB Wireless receiver - kb+Mouse

you wont get into that situation, people overestimate the PSU wattage all the time..
also, your GTX 960 is a single 6 pin version right ? then no problems at all

if you're looking for an upgrade, upgrade your CPU

hehe my cpu is super cheap and hard to replace as its FM2 socket type and I could not see a better deal
You are welcome to suggest a better fm2 CPU

It would take some years to get into that situation. That's why.
ok cool :)
