i have a 500w corsair builders searis modular

OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: amd fx 6100 asrock extreme 9 8gb 1600 ram

i live in canada and would prefer newegg.ca for the parts but am open to change

i have one moniter at 1920x1080,

i am probability going to upgrade to stem roller once it comes out and get the eight core i can easily upgrade the psu to 600w if it is needed

i can get a 7870 for $230

but the cheepest 7950 i could find is $299.99

it is a little bit better than the 660 ti and 7870 however the 7950 is still a bit better
