So i read the how to ask for help thread and i will do my very best to be forum-correct 
.
I current run a amd phenom ii 1045 xt ( not overclocked ) with 8gb of ram.
i have a xfx radeon r7 240 graphics card.
I have a max power supply according to the side of the inside of my computer of 460w.
I specifically only play a few games; WoW, diablo, etc.
I recently have been getting messages from blizzard that my graphics card isnt good enough and i might not be running optimally. I currently run fairly easy, with the exception that i have to run everyone on average settings or turn some off- lol. Lag or FPS isnt an issue as long as i dont up the graphics or do large scale pvp ( i.e world events )
I was reading the power supply article ( which they said its not boring) but there is a lot of info that is just over my head lol.
blizzard recommends r7 260 x or higher for graphic cards and over the years ive used both chipsets and i tend to prefer amd.
some cards i was looking at;
Amd radeon r7 360;

amd radeon r7 370

Now to my power supply question, i dont mind spending 50-100 bucks if it would extend the life of this rig a few years, issue is- what can i use ? is it just about buying and plugging it in ?.
are the above cards even an option for me ? again i only play wow, i bought this computer about 6 years ago new for 1100 and its served me well, i dont feel like buying a whole new rig atm. Any help and advice would help. I appreciate all you guys and your patience with people like me.
