And i need to know that because i'm gonna buy a new GPU because my GTX 660 is just not good enough it just has 55 FPS average in BF3 ultra and the 670 have like 75.52 and i found that out on this thread http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-760-rev... and i was looking to buy the 670 because it seems to be nice but it would also be nice if u have some other suggestions on what GPU i can buy the 670 costs 416.32$ and i don't want to buy any more expensive than that. Please tell me if it's compatible.

Yes, the GTX 760 or 670 is compatible. However, the GTX 670 is outdated and has been replaced by the GTX 770 for the same price. Be sure to overclock your CPU to at least 4.2GHz to make the most out of it.

I Believe my PSU is called GS600 atleast that's what it says on the psu.. heres a link of it http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=773380 i believe it's in swedish tho :/ 

And is the GTX 770 compatible with my motherboard? because it's not alot more expensive then the GTX 670 and will my 600W PSU handle it? since i have an AMD FX-8120 8 core @ 3.1ghz 16gb ram and gigabyte-970a-ds3 (socket M2) Mobo

Virtually all PCI-E graphics cards are compatible with your motherboard, the 770 is no exception and will work wonders, just remember to overclock the 8120 to 4GHz with a Hyper 212 EVO linked below.

The Hyper 212 EVO is traditional aircooling. @4GHz The 8120 will receive a speed increase that will let you experience the full potential of those cards.
