Probably overkill for that CPU, but you don't NEED to upgrade that PSU for that GPU I picked out.

well i would rather him upgrade the psu, cause im aware of bestec not being as good

and in the long run i dont want it to blow, with a graphic card, the psu you picked out has a lower 5v rail..

btw the 5670 would be the best for him, and what about nvidia??

5670 = best low end - mid range
