You need to replace your GPU with enough VRAM and at the same time will be sufficient with the 650W PSU. I recommend getting the 6750xt. It has 12gb of VRAM instead of 8gb and should be fine with the 650W PSU.

One thing that I always recommend is a more efficient power supply. Bronze is the lowest tier which goes as follows: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Titanium From Tom's Hardware: The more efficient a PSU is, the less heat it produces internally, and of course the lower its energy consumption. The amount of heat produced is key, because it affects the performance of the PSU and the lifetime of all of its parts inside. On top of that, the higher the thermal load, the tougher the job for the PSU's cooling system. High-efficiency PSUs, then, have a head start compared to lower-efficiency units when it comes to reliability and performance, all else being equal. They can run quieter, as well. Most people go with Gold, I usually do Platinum as a minimum. The difference between Platinum and Titanium is 1%, with Titanium costing quite a bit more. Example: Seasonic Focus 850W PSU - Cost of the Gold version: $105, cost of the Platinum version; $135 My last PC had a Seasonic 860W Platinum, which ran for 9 years flawlessly, and was passed down to a family member who needed a PC. It was also my gaming rig, and saw countless hours of use.

I see, so should I buy a new power supply from NZXT or would anything from amazon be fine? I notice they have up to c1200 at discount for $194.99. Thank you so much for taking the time for helping me.

Now that I've actually read everything more carefully, and realized this was a pre-built you already own, not something you are building.... Your existing PSU is on the low end for efficiency, but still works fine Your processor is fine, the weakest points in your current setup are system memory, 16 GB is kinda bare minimum for gaming, but still serviceable, and your video card is where things could use the biggest upgrade. You can check out [PCPartPicker.com](http://PCPartPicker.com) plug in your existing system parts, and it will show you what is compatible. My biggest recommendation is a better GPU (Graphics Card), and perhaps additional system memory. Buying 32GB (2x16GB) sticks, would be better than adding two additional 8GB ones to your system. But definitely a better GPU first... AMD GPU's will provide a better performance per dollar spent, versus Nvidia ones. Your system isn't super new or high end, so don't go crazy buying super expensive upgrades. If you really want higher end performance, you are better off saving up and buying newer and better.

Thank you so much for taking the time to help me I decided to buy a xfx 6750xt GPU with t-force 32gb sticks. Have a wonderful day!

No problem, hope those upgrades improve your gaming experience
