I would only want a 990fx, so I could get some better OCing out of it with a fx series chip


What is it about the 990fx chipset that makes it a better overclocker for FX chips vs. 970? And does this apply across all FX architecture? Is it more of an issue with 125W TDP chips vs 95W?

I plan on getting this computer

LINK

I feel like everything on the computer is adequate but the power supply is only 300W. I need more than this so I plan on using this power supply to upgrade it.

POWERSUPPLY

Can anyone tell me if this powersupply will fit and perform with the desktop I listed. Also if it does not, is there any suggestions as to what similar Watt power supply will work?

Thanks
