Hello ladies and gentlemen.
I would like to upgrade my computer so I can run recent-newer games.
This is my computer model, bought off the shelf at best buy a few years ago (shame on me):
http://acersupport.com/acerpanam/desktop/2010/acer/aspire/AspireM3910/AspireM3910sp2.shtml
(Aspire m3910)
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-870 processor (8 MB L3 cache, 2.93 GHz, with Turbo Boost up to 3.60 GHz, DDR3 1066 MHz, 95 W), supporting Intel® EM64T Technology, Intel® Virtualization Technology
Graphics card: NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 320 with 1024 MB of dedicated DDR3 VRAM, supporting NVIDIA® CUDA™, PhysX™, PureVideo® HD technology, OpenEXR High Dynamic-Range (HDR) technology, Shader Model 4.1, Microsoft® DirectX® 10.1, OpenGL® 2.1, OpenCL™ 1.0
(Genuine Windows® 7 Home Basic 64-bit if that even matters?)
PSU is one of these (I have no idea which) :
250 W (Non-PFC)
250 W (PFC)
300 W (Non-PFC)
300 W (PFC, 80Plus-certified, more than 82% efficiency)
Budget is under 200$ CAD.
A friend has suggested this combo:

with this PSU:

I would like to have your thoughts before actually spending money.
Thank you for your time!
