I'm looking into purchasing a bigger PSU, however; I do not know if it will burn out my motherboard. I'm quite familiar with computers, but I do not understand how the Power supplies work.
Here is my motherboard:

Here is my computer:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Pavilion+Desktop+/+AMD+Phenom%26%23153%3B+II+Processor+/+6GB+Memory+/+1TB+Hard+Drive/1757113.p?id=1218289377288&skuId=1757113&st=HP%20pavilion&cp=1&lp=6
I want to purchase a graphics card that will handle modern games at medium to high settings. I currently have quite a small monitor and tend to keep it that way. The maximum resolution my monitor achieves is 1024x768.
I'm looking for the biggest Power supply possible for this motherboard and I am looking for a graphics card capable of running any game on the market; even if it's at medium or low settings. I normally play Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Sims 3, and would like to be able to play Battlefield Bad Company 2. I would like to be able to play Battlefield 3 that comes out this year.
I just need to know if a bigger power supply is possible first, and if it is, I need a suitable graphics card for my criteria. Thank-you for your help!
