Hello, back in December, i posted a thread about parts i should get to upgrade my computer. I couldn't get the parts at that time and now i have found some parts i think would be better. I have an HP h8-1202 factory computer.
These are the specs:

I would like to get a new graphics card and PSU. I have found these two that i think would suit my tastes, but would like to know if they are good choices. I want to be able to play games on medium to high/ultra settings with playable fps, nothing insane. I have been told all of the parts in my computer are fine, but my card is not nearly good enough to run games at high quality, and a new psu would be needed for the better card. One of the things i am worried about are if the card itself would fit in my case. Below are links to the ones i have been recommended by friends/ think i should get, and my PC specs/photos. I greatly appreciate any help!



The Card I would like to get:

Power Supply I want:

I really like the 750 ti for 175 or less. I would say that card only requires 300w so you may not need to change power supplies. I am not sure which power supply (even with video) comes with that computer. The 750 ti is tiny and should fit with no problem.

Yeah that was the only thing i was worried about. I don't know if you looked at any of the links but my card is very small compared to that one and i still question the space.

You can jam sapphire 7870 in that case and it's huge, I know becuase I used to have similar hp build way back when. 750ti should fit no problem. I would check the stickers to make sure it can output 300 watts at least. You should play every game in either medium/high settings in 1080p.

Alright, this is my first time upgrading/building, so now i just want to know if it would be a good idea to get a 600w psu? i think in the long run it will be of use to me, so next time i get a card i will already have a power supply.

Even the most powerful cards like 780ti doesn't eat up more than 600 watts. I like Overclocking so that's the only reason I sport a bigger one. Unless you plan on Overclocking or using multi card arrays, 600 will be more than enough.
