Solution
For changing the GPU you have to consider that the CPU is strong enough so you dont get any bottleneck and what PSU to get with what card if you get the gtx 660 then a 500watt PSU is fine make sure its from a good brand i will recommend the xfx 550 its cheap and good plus you can look at r9 270 the prices are same and r9 270 will give you better performance in games than gtx 660.

gtx 750 ti consumes less power but performance wise its much weaker than gtx 660 and r9 270
