Does your PSU mount on top or bottom? It's a full size ATX PSU, so you need an ATX PSU, not MicroATX. Also, what is your total budget?

i would say for only the psu 50-40$...for gpu ill buy it later
the psu is on top

Really then only thing you'll be able to get in that range that is good. You won't be able to upgrade much, but would be able to handle up to a R7 250, which will be much better than what you get now.

Have you made any modifications to your PC?
Like adding RAM, some card like LAN card etc.?
I must say yours is a pretty decent system; many system I see prebuilt are pretty hopeless.
You could fit a 660 too in there; no problem.
If you have the money for a 660, I suggest go for this PSU instead:

and here is the 660:

This is $194.99; there are some $160 ones, but they're reference.
This card is faster and quieter, also runs colder.

well thank you for your sugetion if you have a 500w psu no matter the price please do leave a link but i think i now have a bigger picture of what i could get

cst1992 · Jan 16, 2014

What GPU are you considering for a 500W PSU?
This is the same model: just 500W: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027
It's $10 more.

not sure what gpu thou. srry im not an expert on this im still learning more off desktop but i would defenetly prefer to buy that gpu if it fits in my dektop.hope th psu does fit

cst1992 · Jan 16, 2014

How much do you intend to spend on the GPU?
It's okay if you're not an expert, you're not expected to.

HiTechObsessed · Jan 16, 2014

Being a top mounted PSU, I doubt it would allow it to draw air in from the top or bottom of the PSU, but I'm not familiar with the case. You probably need one that draws air from the back of the PSU.

380w PSU will be plenty for what you have now and if you were to add an R7 250 like I linked above, and you would actually probably be able to get away with using a 260x, as long as it only requires one 6-pin power cable.

cst1992 · Jan 16, 2014

Yes you're right, my bad.
If you're going to install a 660, you have to get the cx500 as it has 2 PCIe connectors. The CX430 has only one.

I have a top mounting for my PSU and the fan is situated downwards.
It draws air from inside the case.

HiTechObsessed · Jan 16, 2014

I understand, but he has a prebuilt case, and they aren't built that way usually. OP will need to find that out I guess lol

cst1992 · Jan 16, 2014

HiTechObsessed :

I agree.

JonathanA · Jan 16, 2014

thx for your help guys hope is not asking to much but what brand of psu and gppu should i buy i mean like im really trying to undestand the numbers u are giving me but as i said im still a college dude trying to learn so if its ok could you put a link. i do understand most of what you said dont worry

HiTechObsessed · Jan 16, 2014

For PSU, I recommend Seasonic, Rosewill HIVE, Corsair (HX and up), Antec, and XFX,

GPU - MSI, Sapphire, ASUS, Gigabyte, XFX, and EVGA.

And sorry, but I don't know how to post a link to each and every one lol
