PC Specs:
CPU: Core 2 Duo
GPU: Radeon HD 7970
I am aware I am bottlenecking!
If you need any more specs just ask.

Solid gear is a relatively little known company and I would question the quality of a 750 watt PSU at that price point. You should try to find something better in 550-600 watts from Antec, EVGA, Seasonic or XFX.

Do you plan to crossfire when you upgrade? Or will you continue to use the 7970 and upgrade to a single, more powerful card? Are you open to using MIR? Budget?

Never cheap out on the PSU. Think of it as the heart of the system.

RazerZ :

Nope not going to crossfire, probably will just upgrade but I will be good with this card for while. MIR? My budget is around 50 dollars.

How about this one

Mediocre in build quality. Not ideal for a gaming computer as they use cheap capacitors which tend to fail under load.

MIR- Mail in rebates

RazerZ :

Oh yes I want a MIR if possible.

No problem. Can't go wrong with the B2, Super Flower made and great build quality.
