I built my rig last year, and settled for a GTX 650 Ti, because I got it on sale for 80$.
I want to upgrade it now. Not looking to spend more than ~$300-$350.
What would be my best option for that price range?

Also, when upgrading, so I just take the current GPU out and slap the other one in? Not sure how this works, as I've never swapped before.


Current Specs:
AMD FX 8320 3.5Ghz
8GB Ram
MSI 970A-G46 Mobo
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo Heatsink
620W PSU

Thats what I was looking at. Figured I'd ask first. Do I just swap them out and good to go? Or how does that work?

620w will be fine regardless, unless it's a 5 year old unnamed 50% efficiency psu.
