Answer #1
video card
Answer #2
video card and psu. Since that PSU wont be able to hold a much more powerful card
Answer #3
GPU and new PSU, a 500W Antec / Seasonic / Enermax / Corsair / OCZ psu would be perfect. And after a while a new cpu,
Answer #4
Is this a good Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817148027
I mean its 34.99 and after a rebate it is only 19.99 which sounds like an unbeatable price but do you know how well Apevia’s products are? Will it last a decent time?

To be honest, it’s a piece of sh*t, there is a reason why those brands I told you about cost more

This. The PSU is the only component where the price correlates to the quality of the unit. If you see a 600W PSU for $20, be suspicious.
Answer #7
Thanks, can you recommend any good GPU upgrades? I don’t know much about those =/

anything above 9800GT is excellent.. but costs some money.. i would recommend 9800 though
Answer #9
AMD 4770 with a decent 600 Watt PSU for a bit of future proofing. So first to last: PSU, video card, CPU.

Answer #11

This.
PSU upgrade first, get a high quality PSU. Corsair/thermaltake/antec/asus. Then upgrade your gpu.
Answer #12
PSU 500-600w with pci-e. 80+ if possible.
ATI 4850’s are going for $90 or less on ebay too…
But pricepoint/value I would do this:
