Mobo and Processor

[memoriess]

Hey hardware clinics bro,

I am thinking of changing my mobo and processor for extreme/hardcore gaming with some video editing & photoshop. Probably looking into AIO cooler for my processor. I am thinking of getting MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC, but I will like to hear advises from the PROs here.


My current rig
I7 950
MSI x58 gd65
GTX 780
6x 4gb hyper x ram
Samsung 830 ssd
Hitachi Hdd
Cm 600 watts psu (3-4years old)
Cm haf x casing

P/S: Do I need to change my RAM and PSU if I am changing the MOBO?

Please advise me pros. Thank you in advance.

I probably looking into gaming 7 too, if I dont change the PSU, will it bring my other parts down when it spoilt? and whats the M-2 card ? does it come with the box?

Whether or not a dying PSU goes quietly or bloom and kill other parts is a heng/suay issue. High end PSU is less likely bring down other parts than a lousy one.

M-2 is a new standard for m-Sata..much much faster using pci-express bus...but the ssd the market have pick up yet so not much choice
