Hey, I was just looking for advice for a graphics card that won't break the bank ($200 max), and also how many watts and/or type of power supply would I need? Here is my computer with the only exception is that I upgraded the radeon card in it to a gtx 660 ti card since I got it in 2012. I am also thinking about upgrading the ram from 8gb to 16gb as well.

What kinda games are you looking to play? The 8GB RAM won't be the bottleneck in your system so I'd say you don't really need to stick more in there unless you upgrade both the CPU and the graphics card a lot.

Around the $200 mark you have the Radeon R9 380 (4GB) and the GeForce GTX 960 (4GB).

Depends on what you aim to play though :)

I'm mainly looking at FPS, RPG, and some action games. Mainly Battlefield 4, GTA 5, The Witcher 3, Star Wars Battlefront, MGS5, Diablo 3, Heroes of the Storm, to name a few.

Don't wanna say too much but your CPU might be a bottleneck in those games. Someone else will need to confirm this though.
