So I have an Acer Aspire X3400, I'm going to upgrade the graphics card on it in order to play games like Battlefield 4, Minecraft FTB etc.
Here's the specs, if somebody could let me know how well everything would run and if I need new components for a smoother gaming experience.
Current PC
Upgrades
I already know that in order for my computer to run the graphics card I need an upgraded tower case and PSU, but is there anything else I am missing, all info will be much appreciated.. Thanks in advance.

600W PSU will just be way to overkill. You could run that even with the upgrades on a Corsair CX430.
What's your budget for the upgrade.

Around 180 - 200 GBP, but I also would like to buy another GTX 660 TI to run in SLI eventually, how will the 600w Corsair handle that? Also I would like some insight on the Processor and RAM.

A 650Ti and a decent 450w PSU would likely be around 140-150GBP. Thats depending on your case not being a stupid half width one that Acer love to use.
You can only SLI Nvidia cards of the SAME EXACT model number, so 650Ti & 650Ti is fine, 650Ti & 660Ti is NOT fine.
