Hello, my PC is an Acer M7720 with the following specs (just stock, nothing added):
CPU: i7-920 2.66GHz
RAM: 4GB (2x2GB ddr3) I plan to double that to 8GB soon.
PSU: FSP:455-60PA (the tech support said it's 500W true rate but after some internet searching, it is apparently 450W)
Monitor: Acer x233h (1920x1080) specs at:
http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/MONITOR/2010/Acer/X233H/X233Hsp3.shtml
Graphic Card: HD4870 512MB (unknown brand)
Currently, my graphics card is an HD4870 512MB. Despite World of Warcraft having low requirements, the frame rate keeps dropping whenever the environment is cluttered, except at the lowest setting. I am planning to replace it with a GTX560Ti 2GB of the following make:

I don't plan to OC anything and I'd rather not have to change my PSU just to accommodate the new graphics card so can you suggest an alternative? Should I get a GTX560 Sonic 1GB instead or just wait for something better? By the way, there doesn't seem to be any equivalent Radeon products available locally.
Thank you for your time.
