I want ot upgrade the graphics card because i am obviously getting bottle necks i wnat to get the 7970 or something just over all better im really sure the 7950 and the fx 8350 is a good combo and will complament each other my question thouhg since im not goood wiht wattage and stuff in that area . What kind of psu would i need for the rig i have. / the gpu i want to get along wiht this or will my psu work

get an r9 series gpu maybe a 280/x and you wont need to upgrade the psu if 2 780 ti's and a 5960x overclocked can run on a 850watt PSU yours should handle tis fine and you will still have room to OC if you wish too.

ok well i think my mobo can handle a 280 im not big on nvidia and rather have amd. 280 is basically the same as 7970 if imnot mistaken . so with my mobo and every thing i doubt i would oc unless i got a new motherboard the head sinks arnt the strongest on the mobo. so you think the 280 would run good wth the setup if so explain xD

actually a titan would still run on your psu jayztwocents had 2 gtx 680's and an i7 3770k overclocked on a 650 w psu so...
The reason I say the 280 over the 7950 is cause it's newer and you may as well get the newest tech as it will go out of date and older tech goes out of date faster. Also I didnt say you had to OC i'm just saying you can.
