Your perfectly fine with your current PSU.
You could run SLI 680 on that if you wanted.

I'm assuming if you don't get the power supply, you can spend 400$?
If so get a 670 or a 7970, I believe those two were around the same price point.
Or get a 7870/660ti when it releases and a SSD, if you don't have one.

OP your PSU is a very high quality one. more than enough to run any high end graphics card like HD 7970 or GTX 680. Don't spend on a new PSU. Get a HD 7850 and overclock it if required. Thats your best option.
