I'm trying to upgrade my PC but I need help

[Aler]

My PC : Asus CM6830
Motherboard : P8H61-M PRO (supports 2nd gen cpu, 1155 socket)
CPU : i5 2310 2.9 GHz
GPU :Geforce GT530
RAM : 4GB
PSU : Total Wattage 286.4W / 13.6W and Peak : 350W(Last for 30 second)


I am going to buy
GPU : Sapphire R9 270 DUAL-X OC GDDR5 2GB 256Bit AMD Radeon DX11.2
CPU : Intel Core i5 3340 Socket 1155 3.1GHz 6MB Cache
RAM : DDR3 2x4 GB 1600MHz

1)Is it possible to use them all together on this motherboard ?
2)Motherboard supports 2nd gen CPUs but sockets match with the one I want, is it possible to use the CPU i stated ?
3)Do I need a new PSU, if so how many Watts would it need?
4)If you have any suggestions, do please tell

1. Yes
2. yes
3. also yes
4. Why the 270 if i may ask? You get it super cheap or something? Same with the other components: what are you paying for them?

Edit: seriously, the only upgrade i would understand is the GPU & Ram, and only if you get it super cheap (PSU adds more cost).

You may need to flash the bios to support Ivy Bridge. That's not something most of the old Sandy Bridge motherboards supported out the door.

get a better gpu first
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

what power supply do you have?
brand/model

the 2nd gen i5 1155 mobo can take a 2nd-3rd gen i5/i7 cpu 2xxx-3xxx
*may need a bios update for 3rd gen cpus

[_I_]

on the noname 350w do not go over a 70w gpu
its most likely overrated and can kill hardware if its stressed

[_I_]

pick one of these

brand/model beats labeled wattage
good example

looks nice on the outside, enough cables to choke a zebra, but falls on its face during all tests

Can I add 4gb ram on my dell inspiron 3451 ? I am scared to open my laptop XD

Recommend upgrading the psu and ram. Keep the cpu as the i5 3340 is only about 10% faster, the money would be better spent on a gpu, may be a gtx960.

Even if it is low on graphics, it would be enough for me unless it fps drops

This guy seems to do ok with Witcher 3.
