Hello guys i decided to upgrade my current pc and go for total 8GB ram-SSD disk and my major concern a new grapchic card.
I have the following setup

Mobo-Asus M4A785TD-V EVO (AM3) http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M4A785TDV_EVO/
CPU-AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.40ghz
Card-AMD Radeon HD5800 series
RAM-4 GB
PSU-650W

Now my interest for graphic card goes to XFX AMD RADEON R9 280 http://www.eshopcy.com.cy/product?id=PER.519785

My question is if with this card i would experience bottleneck for my system? if so what would you suggest?
I use my computer for gaming and some video editing.
Games like WoT and so.. not FPS

If you're upgrading I wouldn't go lower than a 280 or a GTX 760 if you can afford it.
 
Another final question guys,
Will my Thermaltake evo blue 650W handle the GTX 760 or the 280?

PS: i just opened my case to check the PSU model and found a spider nest inside hahahha,it seems i have good ventilation for it to survive there 8)

If you have the money I would go with the 280X. Doesn't matter if it bottlenecks it or not. Later if you upgrade your CPU and board you will be glad you got it.
