    Upgrading graphics cards, need help so my comp doesn't blow up

    My current system:

    OS: Windows 8
    Processor: AMD FX(tm)-8120 Eight-Core Processor (3.10 GHz)
    RAM: 8.00 GB
    GTX: Nvidia GTX 650


    Upgrading to a Nvidia GTX 660 Ti or a 670? not sure


    What PSU will I need? Anything else so my computer doesn't explode?

    700-750W? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CX75...&keywords=750w
    There's a nice make if you're willing to pay £67. Should be £97 so you're best of getting it now.

    Thanks for the suggestions, my main games are MMOs and crap also League of legends and WarZ and my current system laggs on them. Also running 2 screens.

    A 650/700W PSU will suffice. However, try to get a bronze/silver/gold one as they're efficient and generally have longer life-spans.
    Also, a 670 is fantastic. Grab the FTW edition too whilst you're at it, same price (or like $5 extra) for basically a 670 Ti (don't exist by the way).
    What kind of cooling you got going on?

    You will want to upgrade your cooling system to a ~1000rpm fans.
