of course the GPU but i just got a 770 but i need a 600 watt PSU, anything else?

Your cpu is actually not bad your only bottleneck is that gpu, the gt610. Depending on what games you play, and more importantly how much money you can spend, you can upgrade to something like the gtx 750ti which runs about $150, or if you can spend more the gtx 760, which will be about $250, and should be fine with your psu.

For the PSU go Antec, XFX, Corsair (not CX, CS, RM), Seasonic ONLY.

Everything else looks fine.

You can even set for good quality 550W PSU.

This PSU is in tier 2 product category which is really good.

I would not recommend the RM series. They have the same poor quality capacitors as the CX series and fail easily when subjected to heat.

The XFX550 would be alot better.

The only reason it is tier 2 is because it is more efficient than the CX series. It still uses the junk capacitors and people have already had units fail and even a few blow up. They are not great. I would not recommend one for a stressful situation.

 

[EasyLover]

Then OP must consider XFX option

 

[Raiin_]

Thanks guys for your time! im going for the xfx PSU

 

[tiny voices]

Yes, the XFX550 is the best unit in it's price range by far. It can be had for as low as $50 with rebates or $60 without: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9

Good Luck dear.

So 550W is capable of running a MSI Gtx 770? right sorry last question.

 

[tiny voices]

Yes, it won't be a problem. That card can barely pull 200w at full load. add that to the CPU and the rest of the system and even at 100% load the system will barely use 400w, most likely less.
