hi guys i have a problem..

I'm trying to upgrade my aspire xc-600...but apparently i am afraid that my psu isn't enough..it is 220w. The gpu that i am going for is radeon 7750 and the cpu is intel i5 3570k...

The current Specs are:
intel i3 3220
4gb ddr3 memory
windows 8.1 64-bit
amd radeon hd 7470 2gb gddr3
psu:220w

So see if you guys can help me choose...

That's not a nice PSU. It's a tier 4 unit. Meaning its 1 step above garbage.

Another problem is its completely the wrong form factor for that system, AKA it wont fit in the case. The system uses a TFX power supply. Here's a good TFX PSU from Seasonic http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ss350tgmbulk

No only a half height card will fit in the case. Here's an example of a half height 7750.
