I want to upgrade my (2) ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series graphic cards with either a Gigabyte GV-R 7850C- 2GB or ASUS HD 7850-DC2- 2GD5-V2. I also am upgrading my Samsung 120GB 2.5in SSD 840 Series : MZ-7TD120 to a Samsung 250GB 2.5" SSD 840 Series : MZ-7TD250BW.
What I truly need is a new psu, Tier 1 or Tier 2. Any suggestions are welcomed. I can only spend $200 on a psu. I can only spend $200 on a gpu. I can only spend $200 on a ssd upgrade.

My current setup:
Motherboard: Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 990FX AM3+ Motherboard
Processor: AMD FX-8320 8-Core AM3+ Processor 3.5 GHz
CPU Fan: Zalman CNPS9700 LED CPU Cooler
Installed memory (Ram):) Patriot DDR3 16GB 1600MHz Black Viper 3 Dual (2x4GB Modules
Graphic card(s): ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series (2)
LG OEM DVDRW 24x Int GH24NS95 ATA Device
HD: Samsung 120GB 2.5in SSD 840 Series : MZ-7TD120
HD: Seagate Barracuda STBD3000100 3TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5 (2) Raid
PS: COOLMAX CUG-950B 950W ATX12V v2.3 EPS12V v2.91 SLI Certified / CrossFire Ready Modular Active PFC & Compatible with Core i3/i5/i7 Power Supply
 


Why such a small psu? I can only spend $200 psu. I can only spend $200 on a gpu. I can only spend $200 on a ssd upgrade.

Gets you another 120GB SSD so you can run in RAID 0, and a 4GB 770 you can SLI in the future for awesome performance.
 


As usual there is someone here that can find better parts for less than me. Same website even!
