I am interested in upgrading my GPU from a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450. I have a 600 Watt PSU and a Phenom II X4 955 at 125 Watts (I believe). What would be a good upgrade for me without having to replace my GPU? I would be willing to spend up to $200 and I would want to be able to play BF4 and Watchdogs on good settings.

7870 ghz would be a good choice for a bit under 200, but if you could stretch up to around 250, I'd reccomend either the gtx 760 or the 7950.

7950's are going for around 200 now. Great price/performance ratio ATM. Who made your psu? A 600W shitty psu won't do you too well. Also, I'd wait a few days for AMD new cards to come out and look at benchmarks. But a 7950 would probably be your best bet right now.

If you can get one of the 7950 200$ deals then go for it. If you can't then i'd rather wait for the R9 280 (should be released in this month = october), it's a rebranded 7950 for 200$.

spend 250 on a card when the AMD never settle bundle comes out with a free copy of bf4, that is if there is a card costing 250 and has bf4 bundled.

Even most shitty 600W will do just fine with a single GPU setup, especially when the card is in the $200 range

One version of the Steambox is running a Haswell i7 and Titan on 450w, for the record.

You can also wait a bit, the price drops from AMD is due the the new line of R7s and R9s coming out. If you don't want the new cards the old cards will still keep the dropped prices/sales; plus nVidia might even be forced to drop their prices of the new line to be competetive with AMD soon. Who knows?

I was going to respond to this, but this guy's post pretty much sums up my ideas.

Yeah, that PSU is fine.

Yeah, a good quality PSU can power a lot. But a bad quality one can cause you alot of problems too if it can't deliver enough power. *cough* Raidmax *cough* :S
