So i have decided its time to upgrade abit my Pc with all the new games coming out and some old ones i have problem with.

My Pc Setup is this:
Case:Turbo-X Pegasus III Midi Tower
MoBo:Gigabyte H61M-DS2 (s 1155 , H61 , DDR3)
CPU:Intel Core i3-3220 ( 1155 , 3.3GHz , 3MB)
PSU:Turbo-X 550w Bulk II
RAM:Corsair RAM DDR3 4GB Dimm 1333MHz x2
GPU: Palit Nvidia GT 630 2 GB
Win7 64-bit

In the time i bought that Comp it was the best i could find with the money and needs i had.But the needs increased now.

So i want to replace my GPU and PSU.
*So after alot more searching and reading im looking forward the GTX 650 Ti Boost 2gb.

(Link) http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GTX650-GDDR5-2GB-Graphics-GV-N65TBOC-2GD/dp/B00C12M9CM

For the PSU now i dont really know if the one i already have is enough and i haven't heard the best things about it.

So the one i think fits me the best with the money i have is this:
**And even more reading and searching looking forward the Corsair CX430W since it will win me a few euros and is more reliable.

What im looking for is:
A:Is this Card good enough or u have other options.
B:Is my PSU enough or i need another.
C:If i do is the above good enough?

If i need to get both of PSU GPU it will cost me about 200 euros which is my budget.

Any advice and opinion is helpfull to me.

Ty in advance.

For a system using a single GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 450 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 24 Amps or greater and that has at least one 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) rated at 45°C - 50°C ambient temperature, is the most critical factor.

The Turbo-X 550W power supply unit, with its maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of most likely 29 Amps and with one (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors, is sufficient to power your system configuration with a single GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST graphics card.
