I will most likely be buying a new "Gaming Computer."

It is a, CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra 2140 Desktop PC AMD FX-Series FX-6300 (3.50GHz) 8GB DDR3 500GB HDD Windows 8.1 64-bit.

Link: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1688...

Specs:
AMD FX-Series FX-6300 (3.50GHz)
• 8GB DDR3 500GB HDD
• Windows 8.1 64-bit
• Nvidia Geforce GT 610 1GB
500W

I will be buying when it goes on sale. (499.99) and hopefully free shipping. Obviously the graphics card will need upgrading, (and possibly the PSU. Will the PSU need upgrading?) so I will upgrade it to a gtx 650 ti boost, or the 7770, unknown at this time. Is this a good idea? Should I make this decision? What power supply should I get if it needs upgrading? I also need a wifi card or equivalent. Suggestions? My budget is $625. I will have money in the near future, Christmas etc.

PSU would need changing and looks okay ish, the cpu is worth $150 at best and gpu is below $200, but yes, upgrading the gpu is a good idea when you get the pc

That PSU will be fine with a gtx 650 ti or 7770.

A GTX 750 Ti should work fine with the stock PSU as long as it has enough wattage (around 350w).
