If this is your power supply, it has one PCIe power connector and 2 x 18A rails with a max combined +12V of 360W (30A).

I like the GTS250/HD 5750/5770 recommendations. Stay clear of the HD 4870 which need 2 power leads and have higher consumption.

Are you OC'in that 9850BE? Those are power hungry chips, plus 2 HDD's to factor into the calculations. I found a 3.4GHz X4 9950 + HD 4870 to consume 485W from AC source under full load. Don't try that on your PSU. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-cpu-overclock,2304-13.html

I've already told you HD5770 is the best card in your budget which is better than GTS250/4850.
It is on par with HD4870 which also costs RS10000. But HD4870's power consumption is a bit high.
And you also get DX11 with HD5770.

So just get a HD5770.
