Right so my rig at the moment has a AMD bulldozer CPU which I don't like !
It has a Radeon 6670 which is outdated !
It has a 450w PSU which needs upgrading...
It has some AMD motherboard that I forgot what it's called. It must GO !
I was going to upgrade to these parts:

I don't really know the difference between motherboards so if anyone has any other ideas for one please let me know
I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to pc building so any help is welcome

Personally I recommend you wait a short while for Haswell and the 8000 series of GPU's, the PSU may be worth an upgrade now however because it seems very low quality compared to what you will need, so if you upgrade it you'll be preparing for other upgrades.

I wanted to change to intel hence the new motherboard but I have no idea what the difference is in the motherboard other then the name so if anyone can tell me which motherboard is better please share

FYI Bulldozer needs the balls overclocked off it to pull its weight i've found, a 450w PSU doesn't mean its low quality you could run that MSI GTX660TI on a 550w one if it was a good one.
Are you planning to overclock that i5 by any chance?

What PSU would you suggest but I don't want to spend 200 (Euro) or near that just on PSU alone...
