You may need to upgrade your PSU. What PSU are you using atm?

680W is what is says on the green sticker, i dunno if you mean a specific brand or what i apologize

If there's no specific brand that may be a problem. I wouldn't want to be running a 280X on a PSU with no brand. You may want to look into upgrading it. You should have enough money left over from your budget to upgrade it anyway. Something like an XFX 650 would be perfect.

and one other question, would it be worth fixing up the build i already have, or save up and buy a prebuilt? im not to sure how good prebuilts are, but i was thinking about wither upgrading the specs on this build, because its not to bad running older games. but i was hoping to get some feedback on this pc

I'm not sure if you missed the price tag on that PC or not, but if you didn't, get it if you have the money. But bare in mind that is a UK site and since you're in America it will cost more and they may not even ship to America. It'd be better for you to just upgrade your current one though. It'd be a lot cheaper.

Alright, well, i'd like to thank you all for the help. I'll post some info on it when i get the chance to upgrade!
