Or you can buy a 7870 xt which can almost be a 7950 if you really overclock it but you will need an after market cooling system for your cpu if you would wish to do that. It's also always nice to get an SSD when you have the money, it doesn't effect gaming but it effects loading. If you want to spend more money on the PSU buy a fully modular PSU since some semi's are pretty much not modular, and with mid towers their pretty helpful.
