Solution
Q9550 is fine for a mid-range gaming platform. Power supply is adequate for a single GPU.

GTX750Ti may not work out of the box, due to the older BIOS. However, if you grab the latest version of your BIOS and flash it has a better chance. There are also some GTX950 that would be faster then the 750Ti for roughly the same amount of money.

A GTX660 would be more likely to work out of the box and should be available for around the same price. (Used though, I should add)
