Upgrading PC

Hey guys welcome I am planning to upgrade my current PC (average gaming PC) to a good one that runs all games on max settings and also can run various programs and other things in the background.

I have currently chosen these parts from this store (Australian):

I currently have a 550W power supply and I am not 100% sure if i need to upgrade the power supply or not, + I am not really that sure if these parts are the best for the money, and also I have an AMD motherboard and I think I need to change to a Intel socket 1115 motherboard or whatever to use the Intel 3570k.


Can someone help me out here please?

Like explain to me everything =)

NOTE!: I'll hopefully be getting these in the next 2-3 weeks if not at Christmas =)

This computer will only be used to gaming and of course web browsing, the usual stuff !

EDIT: these are the parts I will be getting...

My specs currently:

don't know where to look, dxdiag gives only a tiny amount of information.

Do I have to change from my current motherboard to an Intel motherboard to get it the CPU working?
