I'm building a budget PC currently and I have some concerns between these two parts I'm going to use. I was looking at new egg reviews and some people had a 650W PSU and they were playing Far cry 4 at max and it literally melted. I plan to play on high so I can get a solid 60, but will my PSU melt with this card? Thanks.

What would you recommend quality wise? I can't spend much more since I'm 25 dollars away from the budget I can really spend, This PSU costs 75 bucks. I'd like to keep it Fully-Modular

I have that PSU with a GTX 650 and I can play far cry 4 on ultra/high with no problem, I do only get 30fps but there is no issues whatsoever and the graphics in the game are beautiful.
