    Get A GTX 650ti Instead Of 550ti Or GTX 650!

    GTX 650 Will Increase FPS Of Games Just By 2-3 FPS While 650ti Will Really Give You A Performance Boost!

    So Better Opt For 650Ti Or Stick To The Same Graphics Card!

    Rest Of The PC Looks Good To Go With!

    A GTX650 is superior to a 550Ti in performance, heat output, and power consumption, and will be priced similarly.

    FX-4170 is still sorely beat by the Phenom 965 Black X4 for most purposes, gaming included, it is also cheaper at 89.99 dollars.

    Also 850W is not necesssary, but if you must I'd reccomend a more reputable PSU manufacturer like OCZ(Known as PC&P and Seasonic, their PSU manufacturer subdivisions), Corsair, or EVGA.

    Good luck!
