Well a couple months ago my laptop's hard drive broke down, and instead of just getting a new one my parents decided they should buy me a pc. I wanted to build one, but they said no and bought me an Acer Aspire m3970. Unfortunately, it only has a gt 520. I want to upgrade it to a 560 ti or a 6870, but the psu in it is only 300 watts. i want something like a 650-700 watt psu, but i dont know if i'll have any compatibility issues. so what should i look for when buying a psu?im leaning towards the corsair psu's cause ive heard good things about them, but again i dont know if it will work with my system
