With the PSU you have your probably safe to go up to a GTX 970 without any overclocking. But if you have enough money to get a nice GPU you have enough money to invest in a better PSU as well. So if you decide to go with a r9 280x and up then go ahead and grab a new PSU.


you sure ? i think it would be waste of money to buy some high end gpu this cpu is not good enough or i am wrong?

i was thinking to buy this psu http://www.futura-it.hr/katalog/komponente/napajanja/xfx-p1-550g-ts3x/
 


You already have a 500W PSU, if I was going to upgrade it I don't think I would go below a 650W which should safely place you where you need to be for more power hungry GPUs.
