Hello everyone!

So, i want to upgrade my graphic card.

This is my system:

MOB: MSI FM2 A55M E33

CPU: Amd Athlon X4 750K (Overclocked to 4.1)

GPU: Radeon HD7770 1GB DDR5

RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 Kingston

PSU: 350W or 400W (im not sure but is a stock psu , came with the case, im pretty sure that is around that)


I play all kind of games, like GTA5, Fifa 16, Tom Raider, CS GO, Far Cry 4, Metal Gear Solid 5...
I play all this games Medium-High, All smooth.


So my question is, can i buy another GPU to play in higher settings? which one?
Without bottleneck, and what PSU do you recomend?
All these regarding my MOB...

Thank You Very Much :D

In a 200$ budget you can get a gtx 950 and a good PSU like this one:

If you up the budget a bit you can get a better gpu (I suggest R9 380 4gb over gtx 960 4gb as it performs better):

(You can get the 520w model if you like, figured this is better in case you build a new system). 520W model:
I would a save a bit for this:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 380 4GB Video Card ($183.98 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12II 520W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($53.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Total:...

Depends on your budget and brand preference (nvidia or AMD?) With that low end PSU, you will be limited to lower end cards. If I were to upgrade that GPU and had $150 or so, I'd go with the GTX 950. Synthetic benchmarks and game frame rates are roughly double in most cases vs a 7770 1GB.

Again, you can pick the 620w or 520w (thinking about the future).

I'd still go with the 950 unless you find a decent PSU for really cheap and a 960 on sale like this one for $160 after rebate from newegg - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127844&cm_re=gtx_960-_-14-127-844-_-Product

You can get that and a CX430 for $25 after rebates - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127844&cm_re=gtx_960-_-14-127-844-_-Product

That is $185 when you get rebates back or $225 up front total. Huge, huge upgrade over what you currently have. The CX430 isn't a bad PSU either despite its price and what some others might say about it. The 960 will not be pushing it even under a high load.

The one that you posted a link to isn't much better as it is a tier 4 PSU and you should be avoiding them, instead you are better off getting a tier 1 or 2 unit instead

Don't get a CX series PSU. It's very low quality with cheap components that are prone to failure. Better to get something with more wattage in case you need it in the future. Going from 300w generic to 430w low quality is not a PSu upgrade in my opinion (even the generic could be better quality as some of them are).

I have a PC running 24/7 with one and have built 6 more for an office that also run 24/7. None have had a single issue in the last 3 years. Yes, they use cheap components which is why they are cheap. But, they are definitely not prone to failure. It is basically like an OEM PSU from Dell or HP that has a little more bang for a mid-range GPU. BTW, I have dozens of OEM Dell and HP PSUs that still function perfectly. Low price doesn't always = junk and those tiers don't = junk either just that they can'r power higher end components.
