is something wrong?

Yeah it's half the price of the i3 (or near about) and I wouldn't have thought it's half the performance? I never even would have considered it had I not asked on this forum.

The 7770 was purely due to budget. It was either HD 7770 or the GTX 650 and after reading benchmarks, reviews etc it looked like the 7770 was the better of the two. I was also afraid the 7850 and the G860 may have bottlenecked?

I will say a big hello from everyone who has read this post. I will also ask him to consider seeking advice on his next PC / upgrade. :)
 
Update from my brother.

He had the audacity to take his components back (after dropping the cpu in the bog and drying it in the oven, putting it back into his motherboard etc).

The guys looked at it, noticed some bent pins on the bottom of the cpu, straightened them, booted it up and all is well! :)

Hopefully he has learnt his lesson.

I don't believe that..

He is one lucky man, or he's lieing. didnt think bent pins could be fixed easily..
 
I know, that's my brother though. Not many people would get away with bending the pins, dropping it in the toilet and cooking the cpu and still have it work at the end.

Hopefully from now on though my posts will be a little more serious and less about toilets.
