Two Different Options:

What GPU would you upgrade to if you did not want to replace the PS for Under $250?

If the budget was moved to $400. What New PS and GPU would you recommend and why?
I am reading some older threads and wanted an update that is current. I would ideally like to use the same case and not have to worry about everything fitting.

If you ended up in my same situation, let me know how hard the PS swap took!!

Any links to exact items that is recommended will be highly appreciated. Thanks!!!

I would go for a r9 280x, CPU should run it awesome! Maybe upgrade to a 600w good PSU 80+, they start pretty cheap online

AMD says a nice 750w needed to crossfire (2x 280x's) so assuming you're PSU aint rubbish it MIGHT be alright, Won't know untill you can tell me what PSU it is

You could get a really nice PSU and 280x for $400
