I'm looking to replace my cpu first of all (dual core with no hyperthreading isn't great) and was wondering what would be a good choice in terms of gaming. Was looking at the i5 4680k and Intel Xeon E3-1231V3 but I'm not sure if I'll need it, since I mainly play cs:go atm.

I'm also wondering if my 500w watt power supply will be enough.... pcpartpicker has my current build at 405w, and I'm not sure how much that will increase with overcloking.

Any advice/help is appreciated. thanks for reading :)
