Hi I'm looking to upgrade my pc's specs, and i need some help. I have a 3 year old gaming pc, and i want to get some better performance out of it.
I was thinking abouy upgrading my "Radeon 7700 series" to an "Sapphire radeon r9 380 nitro".

Would that work/would it be compatible with my system?

Also, please tell me if i need to upgade some of my other parts to get a better gaming experience.

Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 3350p
Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit)
Motherboard: Gigabyte H61M-S1
RAM: 8GB Kingston (1x8GB)
Hard Drive: HDD ATA 1TB
GPU: Amd Radeon 7700 series
PSU: 500W Cooler master

Oh, and another thing. I have also been looking for a SSD to speed up my boot time and to have my games on. Is this one good?

You forgot to list your case so up to you to make sure it fit's but you need to list the exact model number of the power supply a lot of the cooler master power supplies are just junk and can put out nothing near their rated watts.
The SSD will work I would look at the 250GB model it's just a few bucks more and will be easier to manage.

Thank you. I will check if the card can fit.

I dont really know how good it is.

You need a new power supply if that is the one you have it's very low quality and don't even have the required 2X PCI-E power connectors for that video card.

Thank you. Can you recommend a good one?

Using the same site.
Good quality and plenty of power. 5 bucks more than the 520 watt one so no reason not to get the 620.
