That's a very nice balanced system. Very nice indeed.

Now ask any question you have about the rig. From the monitor to the UPS and everything else.

Ok so my screen resolution is 1440x900

For such a small resolution an HD 7770 can do a great job at gaming at the highest details without no problem at all. But if you can afford a 7850. Go for it.

Just so you know, the performance you'd get with an HD7850 @ 1440x900 resolution is about equivalent to the performance of an overclocked HD7970 @ 1920 x 1080 (Full HD).

That's not to say the HD7850 can't push full HD quite easily, and even better when overclocked.

Do you have a monitor upgrade in mind, or do you want to stick to your current monitor?

when I finish buying all my parts I will be thinking to bring another monitor , which one you recommend me to buy?

Never discuss hardware you plan to buy in the future. Hardware changes daily. If not, hourly.

WaficLawand

which one do you recommend me to buy if I don't want to overclock th i5 3570 or 3570k,Im not going to overclock for several reasons like im afraid that overclocking will affect my new hardware or it wont work with me so I will not take the risk to overclock.

yasamoka

Did you read about the difference between the i5 3570 and the i5 3570K?

WaficLawand

Yes the K version that means that its unlocked from company that mean it can be overclocked up to 4 ghz but the normal one it can only be overclocked 0.2 or 0.3 ghz more

Hey guys, since my 500 watt cooler master psu came with the case I found one who can buy it for 35$.
Reasons for selling it:
-1 pcie connector and I need two for GPU (i know that I can connect one from 4 pin to 6 pin but its better to bring one with 2 6 pin pcie connector)
-No sleeved cables that might make my psu cables look prettier
-No 80 plus efficiency
So when it will be sold im willing to buy a good quality 550-600 watt 80 plus psu for a budget of 50-60$ so what PSU do you recomend me to buy? I know that XFX make best PSUs but they are too expensive. What is the second choice after XFX ?

If you're not going to buy an XFX, keep the PSU that came with the case.

But -no 2 pcie connectors
-no sleeved cables
-no 80 plus efficiency

Who cares about the cables. The PCIE connector comes with the graphics card anyway. 80Plus efficiency? You don't NEED it, it's just good to have. PSUs never had such certifications. Only the really premium ones had it. Then it became cheaper to make such PSUs. Use this PSU and then upgrade in the future. I've built lots if systems with this power supply.

Can you answer my question please?What is the second choice after XFX ?

By answering your question, I will be misleading you to get something cheap and the first rule when building a computer is to never go cheap on a PSU. You don't have anything remotely good other than XFX. Use the stock PSU and buy a decent one.

Ok im kind of convinced. Im thinkinking of a corsair which is equal to xfx since they are both seasonic and the question is if I want to ship one from amazon, can amazon ship it to me or I need to ship it using DHL ?

To do that, you need a P.O box and it will cost more than the XFX. Why are you not settling for the XFX PSU? They're amazing power supplies..

WaficLawand

Ok but I heard that amazon can ship parts to me directly without dhl or anything else but it takes about 4-5 weeks.

No idea, but why go through the hassle when you have something that's just as equivalent and local?
