I am looking to upgrade the graphics card in my computer. I am looking at either the Nvidia GTX 760 or the Radeon 7850. I am trying to keep it under $300 dollars maximum.

Currently my set up is:
AMD FX6100
NVIDIA GTX 560
Gigabyte GA-970A-D3
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
2 x DDR3 4GB Ram
My power supply is either 500 or 550 watts. Do I need to upgrade to run a new graphics card?
Edit: I opened my computer and found that I have a WideTech PS-650TM, which is 650 watts. Is this any help?

As for the card I would not get either, I would go for the 7950 here. Either this one from sapphire, or the vapor-x counterpart. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202026

As for the power supply that will be cutting it close, if its corsair, antec, seasonic, or XFX, it should, should be ok. If not, get a replacement closer to 650-750 watts.
