What's the rest of your system like?

What CPU, RAM, PSU etc?

What games do you play and at what resolution?

 

[Senas7]

My CPU is AMD FX 4.2 and RAM is 16gb but i only bought the motherboard and CPU yet and im looking for the graphics card now and i wanna play all kind of games like wow,dirt 3,tera online,TDU 2

What resolution is your display?

edit: anyway, best you can do for under £120 is probably a 7770.

OCUK also has an MSI 7850 for £135 but it's the 1GB version so it might struggle for VRAM in the not-too-distant-future.

2GB 7850 is out of budget, starting at £160ish.

The best graphics card around that price

1 x MSI HD 7850 OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Cards w/ Nexuiz, Sleeping Dogs & Dirt Showdown PC Games £134.99
Total : £144.89 (includes shipping : £8.25).




Otherwise its a 7770 for your budget.

Asus M5A97 PRO with CPU AMD FX 4.2GHz and GeIL EVO Leggera 16GB (2x8GB and MSI HD 7850 does everything world good ?

And for the last what about power supply i need for all of these things and one more time thanks for the help

 

[MeMeMeMe]

Go for 8GB RAM, you don't need more than this, and use the £40-50 saved to bump up your graphic card budget.

Then you could get the Sapphire 7870, at £191 on this Week Only.

Or for a bit cheaper, a decent 2GB version of the 7850, the MSI Twin Frozr, for £170

 

[Senas7]

what power supply ?

 

[Senas7]

What power supplies should i buy?

You should really ask in the "General Hardware" forum and they will recommend the best parts for your budget based on what you want to achieve with the machine. Just tell them what you have already and what resolution you will be gaming at.

Just be warned they are not fans of AMD processors and will probably let you know why. They do know the best bang for buck on most parts of the machine and will give you a lot of good advice.. just be warned on the AMD thing

Don't bother with the 1gig cards you will be forced to upgrade again soon, go for some thing with at least 2gig.

An if you go for the 7xxx series get the 7850 more bang for buck! read up an purchase one thats got good Oc potential.
