my pc currently runs a sapphire hd 5770 perfectly fine, I notice on guru the specs tell me my psu needs to be at least 500 watts. Now my real question is, if I get a 560 ti will it run fine? (i dont have a 500 watt psu) If not would it be worth getting the gpu first for $100 and then a psu? or get a bfg 800 watt psu for $60 and get a gpu later down the line for more money. thanks in advance.

my psu is a generic xion that came with a slim case. i've been using it for many months now. my only problem is that I'm tight on money and I have to chose between these 2 great deals.
 


Get the PSU first. Never underrestimate the importance of a good PSU. Your current PSU won't power the 560ti well.
