Hi there!

I've recently purchased a new gaming PC. Cheap and budgeted. I have a few questions would really appreciate any help, as I'm pretty new to all of this advanced stuff.

I'm looking to buy the Sapphire Radeon Toxic R9 270x, 2GB GDDR5



Firstly, here is my pc specs:

Processor AMD Athlon II X4 750K
Processor Cores Quad Core
Processor Speed 3.40 GHz
Processor Turbo 4.00 GHz
Graphics Specifications
Graphics Card AMD Radeon R7 240
Graphics Memory 2GB DDR3

Drive Specifications
Hard Drive 1TB SATA3 6Gbps
Optical Drive 24x DVD/CD Rewriter

Networking
Wired LAN 10/100/1000 Mbps LAN

Other Specifications
Operating System Windows 8 64bit
Video Outputs VGA/DVI, HDMI
Memory 8GB
Power Supply 500W
Case CiT Venom Mesh Gaming Case with Blue LED Fan
Motherboard Gigabyte F2A55M-HD2
- HD Audio
- 1x PCI Express x16, 1x PCI Express x1, 1x PCI
- 4x back USB 2.0 ports, 2x front USB 2.0 ports

From my gaming experiences so far, I've kinda been disappointed with the graphics display, I know it's super cheap. So I'm looking to buy a new one. Now all I really need to know is:

a) is my computer good enough to get good performance
b) is this compatible with my setup current if I just switch out the graphics card and put this one in?

Thanks so much in advanced for any replies!! :)

Oh.. Also I've been wondering if my 500W power supply is safe to use with all this and the new graphics card
