1) It helps your potential helpers when you use some kind of puncutation and proper sentance formation.

2) Have a look at this power supply calculator to find out what size of PSU you need for your system after your upgrades.

well...? we need some kind of PSU rating or model number before we can proceed.

It is unusual for any home PC to need it, but a company just released a 1 Kilowatt power supply and you would never run out of power if you got that. How many Watts does your current power supply give you?

a 1kw powersupply would be a waste of god-given money. You can build a rig for that thing's price. Try to get more than 16-17amps on the 12v rail, and aim higher than 350w. 400w is what you want.
