Hey guys,
A year ago I bought this PC: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229285

I think It's time for an upgrade to support future, highly graphical games.
For now, all I know is that my PC has a pretty bad PSU, it cannot support that many good graphics cards. I am new to shopping Computer parts, so, can you guys please recommend the parts. Have to upgrade. (Please let them be compatible with my Mother board). My goal is to play bioshock infinite in medium settings with atleast 60 fps. Thanks guys and gals! Use the link I provided to check my specs.

Your CPU and RAM are good enough for gaming, all you need is a decent graphics card. If you go with a midrange card, you might not even need a new PSU.

For you I would say that your current GPU could do with some updating. Do you have any indication of the budget that you have for your upgrade. If so then I could probably recommend a suitable GPU for your system, without breaking the bank.

I would read this article: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-r9-270-review-benchmarks,3669.html and i would recommend either this card: http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/StaplesProductDisplay?PID=3938566&CID=AFF%253A3938566%253A3938566%253A10422268&catalogIdentifier=2&langid=-1&cm_mmc=CJ-_-affiliate-_-feed-_-listing&cm_mmc=CJ-_-affiliate-_-feed-_-listing&AID=10422268&partNumber=IM1TQ6147&storeId=10001 or this card: http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/StaplesProductDisplay?PID=3938566&CID=AFF%253A3938566%253A3938566%253A10422268&catalogIdentifier=2&langid=-1&cm_mmc=CJ-_-affiliate-_-feed-_-listing&cm_mmc=CJ-_-affiliate-_-feed-_-listing&AID=10422268&partNumber=IM1PX0289&storeId=10001 If you can find better prices for a decently cooled r7 270 and gtx 660 then by all means get it.

For your case I would recommend something along the lines of perhaps a GTX 650 ti 2gb from EVGA or maybe the ASUS one. That is if your power requirements are met, and you have the right sized case. If so then that is probably the best card for you in my opinion.

"hmmm you can find a gtx 760 for $200 if you look really hard. if not, a 750Ti" -Danbuscus25
I cannot find one currently and he would have to search for a long time, also do not get the 750 ti it not a good card for a 200$ price point look at the ones i suggested.

A 650 ti is also not a good card for the price range when you can get a 270 for 190ish. The 270 will run circles around a 650 ti.

I agree, this would be if you want to save some money, the "price for performance" option. My original post would be the "performance is my highest concern" option.
