    4gb ram

    480w Generic psu 36a combined on 2 12v rails

    i would recommend just getting 8gb of ram but yes that is a big jump in cpu power. You will notice a difference especially in games going from a duel core to even a quad core but the 1090t is a great cpu the 1100 t is only slightly more if you want to opt for it.
