Grab a 450 watt (or higher) XFX or Seasonic PSU, then you can get a GTX760 in there ;-) Alternatively, on your current PSU you could add an SSD for much faster load times (Windows, browsers, software, games and saves/maps).

Thanks :) I'm thinking of getting a corsair gs600.
And I doubt ill fit a 760 in my case(its a tiny ass micro atx case). I was thinking of getting a cooler master scout 2 or something similar.

Ah OK. Well measure the space you have available and have a look around. If you can't upgrade the graphics card then it's not a huge deal - the 7850 is a surprisingly capable card given the price and low power consumption. If a GPU upgrade isn't possible, grab an SSD. The i3 is a very good CPU and although there is obviously room for improvement (i5 or i7), you'd see more noticeable benefit from an SSD. Doesn't matter too much which SSD you choose interms of performance (they're all near enough identical interms of boot speed, loading a map/save etc) so long as it's a decent size and brand (for reliability) just grab what's cheap. Probably Samsung 840 or Sandisk Ultra Plus (or Plextor M5S if you're in Britain).
