[Immense13]

This is the GPU I want https://www.amazon.com/GeForce-Overclocked-256-bit-DisplayPort-Graphics/dp/B00NJ9BJ8G/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1476277261&sr=1-3&keywords=gtx%2B970&th=1

These are my specs.
GPU - GeForce GT 730
CPU - 3.5 GHz FX-Series Six-Core FX-6300
8 GB SDRAM DDR3
Motherboard - Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd., Product Number GA-78LMT-S2
PSU - TurboLink Switching Model ATX-XG500W

Depends on the exact make and model of the PSU.

Get rid of the that PSU before buying a better graphics card, its junk!

A good quality 500w unit from Seasonic/Superflower/EVGA/XFX or other good make will do the job fine.

This is probably as cheap as I would go, but if you have a higher budget there are better units out there.

Alright I will look into that. I do have a good budget just dont like spending unnecessary money. Anyways aside from the PSU do you think my computer will be able to handle the 970?

Being totally honest, your motherboard is pretty bad which limits any overclocking, and your CPU is not too bad but not too good either... but will certainly limit performance in many games. But a 970 will certainly work ok, just wont get the FPS figures you see in reviews due to your cpu.

Well what would you think is the expected FPS for like some AAA games like say CoD or Battlefield.
