Hi, my specs for my tower are listed here. Basically I want to be sure that if I upgrade to this processor, that the PSU would be okay.

(Intel Core i7-6700K Skylake Processor 4 GHz QuadCore LGA1151 BX80662I76700K)

    You should be good to go with the i7-6700. If you want the i7-6700K you may have to upgrade your cooling due to the extra power needed at the CPU. Your power supply should be good with either.

    Thank you Billsey for the info. Yes, I would rather pay $100 more for the 6700 and be able to drop in and play, rather than gambling with powe consumption and cooling. Thank you samuel for hiding my info as well.
