Bit of a noob here, would like something cleared up.

Current setup

mobo: asus p8z77-v lx
proc: i5 3450 s.1155
ram: corsair vengeance 2x2gb
gfx: sapphire hd6870 1gb
psu: xfx pro 550w
case: antec 300

The 6870 died a few days ago and i decided to get nvidia this time. Was looking at the gtx 750 and 760 as they are within my acceptable price range. It seems the 760 offers a lot more but i'm a little worried about power. Also, any other helpful comments regarding overall setup are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

going to 8 gigs of RAM is an upgrade you should have to expect to do soon.

you can get a AMD 7950 used for $80-120 on ebay. I like the AMD because it has 3 GDDR. I would not buy a GPU with less RAM with the way GPU memory is being used recently.
