Everything in your system is alright apart from your GPU. For playing on 1080p something like a 280X would be adequate, but if I were you I'd go for a 290.

You may need to change your PSU, whats the make and model?

Not sure if running a 290 off of that would be a good idea. Maybe go for something like a 280, and a new case.

Save yourself the money then and dont buy it. I thought you might have had a bad PSU as it looks like a prebuilt. It seems you have upgraded it though which is good.
