I'm upgrading my PSU and graphics card. My highest budget is 180$ for the graphics card, and I've already got a 630W PSU picked out that I'm going to buy. [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152035"][U](Found here)[/U][/URL] (If this isn't enough for a GFX card you've picked out, please tell me.)
I'm not worrying around more RAM or a new CPU right now, but I guess any advice on that would be nice too.
Any help is appreciated.
PSU is terrible.
Oh? I'm not very good with these sort of things, sorry. Could you possibly pick out a better one?

You never want to skimp on the PSU; cheapo ones can fail under load and potentially take out other components. It's best to go with a PSU from a reputable brand (e.g. Corsair, Antec, Seasonic, Xigmatek, XFX, Thermaltake, Silverstone) that's 80 PLUS certified and active PFC.

Sweet, thanks man. I didn't know that bit about the PSU.

just because it's a well known brand doesn't mean they're known for decent PSUs, especially when they use HEC

made by FSP and has slightly more 12V output
