EVGA - 600B 600W Active PFC Power Supply - Black

If these are not good enough please give examples of something that is.
I wouldn't like to spend much more money than this

Also I'm running on a Inspiron 660 (3.1GHz) Everything seems fine except for Graphics card and PSU.

What CPU do you have? Also, the links do not work. :) 

Example: 7870 GHz edition 2GB. It is very good and can run games such as Battlefield 4 on ULTRA or Assassin's Creed IV on Max settings with no problem! Pair it with a AMD FX 6300/6350/8350, and you're good to go! I think that the PSU is fine, but I would upgrade to a 650W "reliable" (check Google for that) PSU if you want to overclock CPU/GPU/BOTH

I have:

AMD FX 6300 6-core @ 3.5 GHz: $120
SAPPHIRE 7870 GHz edition OC edition: $200

I will definitely get Skyrim to post what FPS I get! :D 

NOTE: if you do not have a AMD compatible Motherboard or do not like the AMD series of CPUs, I'd recommend getting the i3 3220 (if you are on budget) or i5 2500k. There are obviously other options, but i am assuming that you are on a budget, like I was.

The prices for all these parts will change over time, so that is why I am not posting any links + I do not know which country you are in.

:D

It would run the games on Ultra, but you wouldn't get very great frame-rates. That PSU is more than enough to run that GPU also, a 500w PSU would also be fine, if you wanna save a little extra money.

Making sure your CPU and mobo are compatible are important as well, you can't always just throw a random GPU into a prebuilt machine. You never stated your actual CPU, you just said it was 3.1Ghz.

Also, both of those links are broken. Also, do you NEED to buy from Best Buy?
