I've been looking around and I'e found an evga gtx750 ti for $150. I need help on telling if this is a good deal or if I could get something better for the price. Thanks in advance! P.S. This is my first build and I don't know much

While the Radeon R7 260X offers similar performance for considerably less money, gamers who want to upgrade an entry-level PC with a low-output power supply may consider the GeForce GTX 750 Ti, which is rated at 60 W (a little more than half of the 260X's 115 W).
If you have a good PSU with 6 pin connector go for R7 260X as it's being sold for 118$.. Otherwise, Go for the GTX 750ti.

The specifications for the 260X list a 500W power supply as the minimum.. But for a high quality PSU like yours I'd say you'd be totally fine. It also has the 6 pin connector needed for this card.

The Corsair "CX" is unfortunately NOT a high-quality PSU. It reviews well when new, but unfortunately is made with some inferior Samxon capacitors that do not like heat. They tend to fail early.
I'd look for a Seasonic- or Superflower-built unit. For any graphics card with up to a single 6-pin PCIe cable, you'd only need 400W-450W. Manufacturers specify higher minimums in the (often futile) attempt to account for the liar-labeled PSU-shaped objects still being sold (e.g. Apevia, Logisys, Diablotek, Raidmax, Sunbeam, etc).
