I would get a stronger PSU personally, AMD cards tend to be more power hungry than nvidia, you will probably be fine with a quality 750W PSU but if your going to upgrade you can grab an 850W for only a few bucks more and you will not have to worry about not having enough juice.

And yes your current CPU will bottleneck the GPU (in certain games) it really depends on how CPU intensive the game is so you may or may not see a difference depending on the title you are playing.
