Hello Everybody
So I'm thinking about upgrading my current gpu AMD HD 7770 to something else. I was thinking that i will go with Nvidia 770(or maybe 760) but I'm not sure if my psu will handle it or should i buy cheaper gpu. Or if someone could explain to me how to pick right PSU.
only thing i want to buy is GPU (maybe different cooler from arctic) and I'm not overclocking anything, too lazy to learn how to do it.
my current pc is
CPU: intel i5 3450
GPU: AMD HD 7770 (sapphire ghz edition)
Ram: 2x4 GB 1600 Kingston
Disk: OCZ 60GB SSD
WD 1 TB 7200 64mb cache (not sure about version so I'm writing it like this)
DVD RW
about four or five fans 120mm
PSU : Seasonic SS 500ET
I'm playing in resolution 1600x1200
I'm not resident in UK or USA so i will try to list cheapest prices for each type of gpu in dollars using market price in shops so i can get most power for small price
AMD R7 260x +-130$
NVIDIA 750Ti +-165$
AMD HD 7850 +-210$
NVIDIA 660 +- 210$
AMD R9 270 +-220$
AMD R9 270x +-235$
AMD HD 7870 +-280$
NVIDIA 760 +-280$ (most of them got bonus in form of game for 50$)
AMD R9 280 +-340$
NVIDIA 770 +-380$
AMD R9 280X +-360$
NVIDIA 670 +-475$
i would like to see performance increase at least 50% or 80%
games i will play newest game i can think of will be Witcher 3 if this can help.
Sorry for my terrible English i hope that it is understandable.

I would say a mid range card is probably the best bet for you really. For you I would go this route r9 280/x, GTX760, GTX770. What you may want to do though is wait and see if Nvidia will have a card that will include Witcher 3 given that its a Nvidia optimized game. I did a little digging not quite sure myself and it's going to use Nvidia hardware Physx which means its a Nvidia game and may or may not be included with cards. Keep in mind the game isn't due to release till late this year so chances are you may be looking towards the 800 or 900 series of cards as your best bet for the best performance with that game.
