It's beta so the game might not be fully optimised yet. A new GPU would make a big difference though and an upgrade of that shCIT PSU would be highly recommended.

I'm using a 7950 and getting around 50 fps on ultra in the beta.

Yeah, that would be plenty + OCing if you wanted.

The CX corsair PSU is their budget model, you might want to look at the hx, ax series, seasonic also has great psu's.
Make sure it's a bronze plus at least.

600w would be more than enough.
You can probably do with 500W even.

Use this site to get a very good indication of what PSU Wattage you would need.

Not sure if you have tried it, but apparently you can hybrid crossfire that APU and the 7750, so might give you a bit of a boost in the meantime if you are undecided about upgrading

Thanks for the input guys I went with upgrade 7970, just another q is it hard to install new psu or should I get someone else to do it right.

It's very easy to do it yourself.

Unplug all cables that are in there now.
Unscrew PSU and remove.
Place new PSU and screw down.
Connect new power cables as the old ones were.

Of course, you then spend the guts of 45 mins trying to get the cables to look nice, but that's purely OCD.

I don't know if you're ordered yet but I'd go with a 7950. €80 cheaper for only 5% less performance once overclocked to the same clock speeds. The money saved could get you a nice psu.
