Now this is what I want... The geForce 760 which is just under 200.
So looking at that I'm gonna need a decent power supply so asking around I've had the 750w corsair recommended to me
But I've heard my cooling is shyte..
This is what has thrown me... How do I upgrade the cooling, is it a component I buy and what one?
Lastly, with the 760gtx, the corsair and the new cooling, would that be everything I need to go?
Thanks * +

I bought the 750watt power supply so id always have enough, its overkill for my set up.. Your pc case should have grills dotted about where u can install extra fans. Your gpu has its own fan or fans.. IM not the one to ask tho tbh as im a noob. Duno if your cpu is good enough for games * +

Yeah the CPU is I heard
I have a question though.. It might seem Noobish but the CPU amd a8 quad core, is it connected to the radeon graphics card because when ever I see reviews it always has the two paired together like they are a bundle. Can I remove the graphics card without it affecting the processor? Sorry only just really don't understand lol * +

For example... AMD Quad-Core A8-Series APU A8-5500 with Radeon HD 7560D * +

Its built into the cpu, if u buy a gpu then it will use that instead * +

So the 760 gfx card will act as my processor? * +

Ah wait... If the processor has this gfx card integrated then that means there will be an open slot for the gfx card... Right? Therefore I won't need to remove anything * +
