that is one of the worst power supply.a gtx 680 needs no more than a quality 550w unit.xfx pro 550w is a great unit(it's a rebranded seasonic)-

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 680 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 680 SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 750 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

You should get another stick of ddr3 so you can get dual channel memory performance. You also should up your cooling so you can overclock, because there is a high chance of the 955 bottlenecking the 680.
1. Get another stick of ddr3 ram of the same speed and size.
2. Up your cooling to something like a corsair H100 or swap out for 2 both high CFM fans.
3. Get a better powersupply.
4. You should have enough for a 7870 or 7850.

i agree with everything except cooler.H100 is $100+ still you need to put your own fan.it is very expensive and 'not worth it' solution.hyper 212 EVO is a great cooler.i wouldn't recommend changing.

I wouldnt of changed the cooler anyways no point ive got it stable at 3.8. Im thinking if i get better ram i could reach 4.0+ Stable if not its the board. Either way doesnt matter im going with a i5 2500k later. Thats why im trying to go big now so ill be ready for the switch as for the d14 it would fit im my case Its an alienware
