Always Check Your Power Supply First

I can not stress this enough. Regardless of your next graphics card's price point you need to make sure that your Power Supply Unit (PSU) can handle the new card.

Even if you're not, then you'll still be able to play games like Battlefield 4 on ultra (2 x AA) with a framerate above 30FPS.
