This PC is getting weak (gaming wise) and I'm looking for a new build to keep up with the times

I am only looking for a GPU, CPU, RAM, and HDD.

I know how to put the parts in the PC, but my main issue is knowing if they are compatible, and that's where you guys come in.

My case is an NZXT Gamma and my PS is fine.

The price range is $400-$450

If this is your PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817121084
...it is not a high end PSU, and it only has a 72% efficiency rating. Nevertheless, it does have 46 amps available at the +12V rails. If you want to take a chance with its quality, here's one way to go...

Card: http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=EV-760DBAC&c=CJ

Double your system memory with something at least in the 1600MHZ category, swap out the Zambezi for a FX-6350 Vishera, and upgrade the gfx card to as much as your budget will allow. Any PCIe card will work. But your PSU needs to be of sufficient size.

PSU make/model?

I trust the PSU; it's done a good job so far, no hiccups or anything as far as i can tell. I will look into upgrading it in the future though.

But yeah, thanks for the advice guys, been a big help. Now i can go through with this upgrade with confidence
