If you're just gaming, you could save and get 8 GB now, and upgrade later. Of course, I just did a build and bought 16 GB so

I guess this is sort of your budget. If you have the money, this is a great card. For bang for your buck, you could get a GTX 960 or a R9 380 for about $100 less.

IDK anything about XFX power supplies, so someone could better help you here. 750W should be enough though.
