I am currently looking forward to the new ps4 and xbox one release; because, that means a lot more games with high res models and textures will be available for pc. Now I can't even run some 2013 games on max settings, so I want to upgrade my system with a graphics card or whatever it takes to run next gen games at best or close to best graphics. Below I will post my all pieces of my hardware via links to newegg.com

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116986 (operating system)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134928 (RAM)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131758 (Motherboard)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113286 ( Processor)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130623 (Graphics Card)

The rest is just power supply, so not relevant, neither is case or OS really.
Now I would prefer if possible to stay at the $200 dollar price range, but I'm willing to go over if that's what it takes. Please offer me some suggestions. Maybe I could link the graphics card I already own to another one, or something, idk. I'm willing to consider all valid options.
If I desperately need more ram or another piece of hardware, let me know! Thanks everyone!
 
That looks ok... but you're not going to be maxing modern games with a FX6300 and GTX560ti. Also the PSU is the most important part of the computer because you cannot run nice hardware with rubbish quality 12V rail and insufficient amperage.

What is your total budget?

What resolution do you play at?

What do you already have that can be reused?
 
Ok, that PSU is JUST good enough. It has 37A on the 12V rail which should be plenty for most mid-upper range cards these days. Personally I would replace it with a better brand, however that one has the specifications (at least) to make it workable.

Id be looking at a 780ti at the moment. Good price.
 
The Capstone units are ok, to be certified for 80 plus gold is something in itself, i wouldnt be deterred from buying that. And as Bigfella said, look at the 780ti, its one of the better cards right now.

I'd be getting something a little higher-wattage too. Maybe a 600W if you're looking at 780s and stuff like that.

The gtx 780 Ti right? That's not really the card he's looking for. And if he was looking for a card with that kind of performance. The R9 290X should be a better choice for 100$+ cheaper... Just wait until december for new coolers from asus,...
