Will an Fx6300 fall back in performance?

+Is that PSU enuf??

Yes the PSU is enough. Regarding gamig performance, FX-6300 offers around 5 to 7 FPS less at 1080P resolution when paired with same GPU like GTX 680. But if you pair a FX-6300 with a more powerful GPU like here what I did, I think the combination will work better.

Can we suggest a GTX660ti ??
IMO it might have smoother gameplay
