You might try a different PSU - an XFX Pro for example, depending on what they cost where you are. Corsair CX are ok, but Corsair TX, AX are a lot better, and a safer bet if in future you decide to have a go at over clocking that FX6300 (for which you would also want an aftermarket cooler, like a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo)

There are also more powerful GPUs than the 750Ti for the money (though again, prices may be different where you are) - the 750TI is best for if you want a really power-frugal system as it uses a lot less wattage than comparable cards.

Consider a Radeon R9 270X for example.
