I'm planning to upgrade my current system so that I could run the latest assassin's creed (Unity and Syndicate) and might as well newest game.. My choice of graphic cards are either r9 270x or r9 280 (my budget is a bit tight and they aren't cheap as well). I also want to change my stock heatsink with AIO liquid cooler something like DeepCool Captain 120. I don't have a plan on changing my monitor since I'm happy with it, but once in a while hooked hdmi cable to my toshiba 40" LCD TV for multi purpose tasks like watching movies etc. So, should I upgrade my psu as well? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Forget the water cooler . You dont need it . A $25 CM Hyper 212 can lower your temps and run quieter [ esp since you can not overclock ]

Spend the entire budget on the graphics card IMO . A 4 gig GTX 960 or R9 380 , depending on your power supply
