    Moved to Computer Build/Upgrade Help

    In the future, please use a more appropriate title; I've fixed yours. "Help plzzz?!?!?!" doesn't really do much.

    That looks like a horrible pre-built computer, do you know what kind of PSU you got?
    Intel i5-3570K @ 4.7GHz | MSI Z77 Mpower | Noctua NH-D14 | Corsair Vengeance LP White 1.35V 8GB 1600MHz
    Gigabyte GTX 670 OC Windforce 3X @ 1372/7604MHz | Corsair Force GT 120GB | Silverstone Fortress FT02 | Corsair VX450

    7770 is the best to put in without a new PSU

    You'll be wanting to replace that PSU before you replace the graphics card if you want one that will run stuff at ultra settings and 1080p resolution. Something like a Seasonic M12ii for around 60 bucks would be ideal.

    What resolution is your monitor?

    Would replacing the PSU cause me to have to replace anything else like motherboard or anything and its a 1080p? and replacing it with that what Card would go good?

    You should be able to fit a Seasonic S12ii 520 and an HD 7850 on that budget if you take advantage of special offers and/or mail in rebates.

    Replacing the PSU will not make you have to replace the motherboard.

    perhaps going overbudget by 20 bucks isn't an option for a 660Ti? (msi one + borderlands 2 copy)
    psu, 500w should be plenty unless you plan to go SLI in the future. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817182199)

    SLI is when you use 2 or more GPUs from Nvidia to work together.
