you need a very good GPU to get decent FPS
and a good PSU to power it

Hi. Pick nice GPU. That is it what you need for very nice gaming pc. And you don't even need 500 dollars for ultra 60 FPS. Just insert this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202008 to your pc and you have monster. Oh and your PSU is pretty weak, you have to change to something better like seasonic 620 or other 600 W PSU. 550 W fits too if it is made by nice manufacturer.
If you still want to spend some money you can think about CPU cooler. But better save your money because this won't improve anything for now.

i believe the PSU inside your pc case is not a reliable one. always use trusted PSU

7950 calls for 25 AMPS and a 500 PSU, the power spec is a 2 rail with 18AMPs on each, I'd look for a better PSU, your's is prob about 420 continuous watts

Wow, thanks for the answers so far. The community here is awesome!

Any suggestions on a GPU power supply combo?

Tradesman1 :

Will do I was planning to pick one up today online or at microcenter.

My plan is to upgrade the GPU and power supply. If i spend a lot on a GPU would it be worth it?
