Okay I played WoW and dota 2 but with the price of a Xbox one and ps4 I thought pc gaming is the way forward. So my question is I have a Hehe ty man
EVGA 02G-P4-3658-KR GeForce GTX 650Ti Boost Superclocked Nvidia Graphics Card (2GB, GDDR5)
AMD Bulldozer FX-4170 Quad Core 4.2ghz
I know I need to update my power supply and I was wondering what is recommended I was looking at a 750w corsair CX?
 
Solution
Currently i would recommend R9 270, R9 270x, 7870XT or 7870 and FX-6300 for BF4.
7870's have been going for as low as $150, which is less or same than the 2GB boost is.

You should get playable settings on 1080p on ultra or high depending what is your liking.
If those are your specs and you don't plan on upgrading, you'll probably at most need a 500/550w system. Recommend a XFX 550W PSU for that, as they are made by seasonic.

But if you plan on upgrading, I would go with a HX/TX PSU from Corsair. at roughly 750-850W. I'd lean more towards 850 if you plan on SLI/Xfiring in the future.
 
For those parts, a 500W PSU is sufficient. There may be better deals on a comparable unit, but a couple of safe choices is are the 500W Antec Earthwatts and the 520 Seasonic SII or MII.
You might take the money saved, and if your mobo supports it, upgrade your CPU to a FX-6300 or FX-8320.
 
Corsair HX750 has been available after rebates for around $85, and at that price it is a steal.
So i would be looking at one of those, they come with a 7 year warranty and are 80+ Gold rated.
So you will have a quality PSU for a long time.
