    Ok so i've been getting advice from another forum but there is to many conflicting arguments so I'm going to see what happens here this is my computer:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03359045#N394
    I'm trying to find the best possible upgrade to my GFX and PSU while not exceeding 500$ so far the choices I have been giving are
    GFX CARD
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150605
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130782
    PSU:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139021
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371016

    The argument with the GFX card is whether my cpu can actually handle running it with "bottlenecking"
    the PSU argument is whether I need that expensive of a PSU

    I just want the best possible GFX for my computer without making it overheat or have compatability issues, Thank you for your help !

    Mate Try this:

    SAPPHIRE HD 7870 GHZ EDITION OC 2GB GDDR5

    CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2

    it wont bottleneck your cpu and its a great choice

    you decide
