I'm planning on getting a new graphics card. That means that I'm going to need a new PSU to replace the current 300 watt I have now. However, I do not know about what components I have to take into consideration regarding the compatibility of my PC. My PC specs are:
Motherboard: MSi 760GMA-P34
CPU:AMD FX 6300 (3.5 GHz)
GPU:AMD RAdeon 7700 series 2GB
Hardrive:1TB SATA II 7200RPM
RAM:8GB DDR3 1600

Can anyone give me a suggeston as to which video card and PSU will work best for this? I am willing to spend $300~.

P.S. I am completely fine with playing at 30-40fps on high. I have a 1600x900 monitor.
