Ive seen from places the 7770 is quite good for the money, Buddy has it belive he plays BF3 on high with very good frames for what it is.

8GB of 1333 value ram, From what ive seen and read the speed of ram doesnt matter that much in gaming unless your using an APU

if anyone has anything to say id like to learn some more and correct me if i made any mistakes

What's the resolution of your monitor? 1360x768? 1680x1050? 1920x1080?

The 7790 is being released on the 2nd of April. $149 and Bioshock Infinite for free.

its more licke a 35 inch tv about 1920X1080

He has a PC already, so, he can get the license of the OS from that one and transfer it to the new build.

I'm thinking APU build with crossfire with the 7790 maybe. IDK What do you think?

I'd suggest "getting" windows 7, but if you really are committed to buying....

APU build without an HDD. Part out the HDD in your old rig and slap it in there for the mean time till you can get extra storage in the future.

You get CrossFire with a 7770 Ghz Edition

Total:$455.93

12

And you have room if you want to get a new OS if you really need it...

13

Damn!!! Seems I misread your post. I thought you were upgrading from an older PC.

14

You can't crossfire an APU with a 7790.

 

6670 is the max for a APU crossfire.

15

Look at my post up above. ;)

Revise - Srry bout that...

Try this build still get CrossFire w/ 7770 Ghz Edition/HDD/ AND OS

Total: $508.31

And you only draw 265w of power which your PSU will love you for doing that.

18

No. xD

You cannot crossfire an APU with A 7770 either..

 

As I stated. The HD 6670 is the max for current APU crossfire configuration.
