So i am looking to upgrade parts of this gateway to make it last longer. At the moment my budget is 300 so i figure i should stick in another Geforce GTX 560 Ti, and maybe change the PSU (not sure if it is needed however there is no info on the actual unit except that it is 750 watt).
The pc in question is this one.

I bought it less than 1 year ago and so far it has handled very well, however i did know at the time of purchasing that the first thing i may need to upgrade will be the graphics card. Also the power supply is a big ? Unknown usually means cheap.
In any case what would you recommend that i upgrade with my small budget of 300?
A couple things you should know.
- I never run higher than 1600/900 resolution
- i use EVGA Precision X
- I don't need to run my games on Ultra and or with high sampling.
- I rarely multitask while playing very intensive games (except for maybe skype and or itunes)
