I would change the PSU, I've only bad things about the CX Series with cheap parts and such.

The cx750 is better than the rest of the cx, but it's only mediocre. There's better psus for the price.

390 if it's cheaper.

390 if it's cheaper.

So the 390 is cheaper, also if the PSU is mediocre is there any particular PSU you would recommend?

 

---The 390 requirements recommend a minimum of 750Watts.

You don't actually need 750 watts for the 390. People have run it fine on 550 watts. If you must however: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750gts3x

If you want a modular psu, the one @jimakos234 suggested will do fine.
