I have an HPE 350t desktop with an i7 860, 8 GB ram, and an HD 5570... I was considering a double upgrade (GPU + PSU), but wanted some input.
The power supply is $20 after rebate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026&Tpk=corsair%20430&IsVirtualParent=1
The card is $85 after rebate: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131477
Free far cry 3 and blood dragon sounds good too.
This seems like a good deal to me but i don't have any idea how hard changing the power supply will be, or if the card will fit. Any advice? Should i buy now or wait?
The monitor is 1920x1080... Any estimates how much improvement there may be in Metro 2033, Battlefield 3, planetside 2, dark siders 2, Crysis 3 (or Far Cry 3 since that's included Haha)?
The 5570 is ddr3 in case it also had a gddr5 model. Thanks for any and all input!

Then secure it and connect back all the cables, of course. Don't wait, get it now. As for improvement, the 7770 ghz edition is about 3.5 times stronger than your old 5570, making any games mentioned above playable in 1080p ( not with maximum settings, of course, but medium/high would be sufficient ).
