I would suggest going for the 7870xt, instead. the xt edition is basically a 7950 for just about 20$ more than the 7870.

Also FOR GOD SAKES DONT BUY THAT PSU!!!!! your machine will not run on that!! I would suggest at least a cx 500 minimum for that setup. the 450 is really pushing the boundary of that PSU, and will not even work without sketchy adapter cables.
