The GPU really won't be any good, what is your budget for the whole upgrade?

Which model power supply do you currently have? Also which case unless you want us to guess its mATX from your current motherboard.

Literally just need it for CS:GO and GMod So nothing GPU intensive. Budget it pushing the limits as it is now.

You will definitely need a PSU upgrade if you want any kind of upgrade possibility.

It's not that your current one doesn't provide enough wattage, but it is that is a very crap unit and has a weak 12v rail. I wouldn't get the parts that you linked anyhow. What is your budget for all parts?

300 is absolute tops, if it helps I primarily do things that are CPU heavy, not high-graphics games and I rarely every do things like C4D rendering. Thank you
