May I suggest this,PSU. Modular,so you only use the cables you need which means less clutter and better air flow.

Graphics cards comparisons.

HD6870 vs HD7770 the 6870 wins outright.

HD6870 vs HD6850 not such a difference.

HD6850 vs HD7770 the 7770 is still the slower card.

Unfortunately your first two links do not work so cannot compare.

I had before I upgraded to the GTX 670 a HD 6870 and a 500w PSU and I could play any game at high settings, so I can definitely recommend the 6870 and if you drop the 750W PSU down to a 600W PSU you will have a litle extra for your GPU.

Good morning everyone

Thank you all for your reply,i appreciated so much.

I have mini case,and very awkward to install anything inside the case,because it is small.i bought big case,and the computer shop will transfer everything from the small case to the big case(motherboard,hard disk,graphic card etc....)

i found out that the power supply is in the bottom of the case,not the top.

please,which power supply (have long plug,and long connections),and i like (modular psu).

i would like either 750 or 800watts psu.please not the OCZ psu,either (antec,corsair,etc...)

i will be using my pc mainly to playing games such as: crysis,crysis warhead,crysis2,halo,call of duty1,2,modern warfare2,modern warfare3,unreal tournament,command and conquer renegade,medal of honor)

i am going to buy graphic card later either (ati 6850,or 6870)

i hope to hear from you very soon

my kindest regards habs

Why do you feel the need for 750W or 800W PSU? I ran a a PC with 2 harddrives, 1 SSD a HD 6870 and the rest of the stuff including 4 fans on 500W without any bother.

Corsair 650W.

BeQuiet 630W.

Antec 650W.

And if you really want 750/800W

Corsair 750W

BeQuiet 730W.

Antec 750W.

i just found out the some graphic card require 3.0 PCI-E slot,my motherboard doesn't have 3.0 PCI-E,it does have 2.0 pci-e slots.

will the graphic card which require 3.0 PCI-E slots work on 2.0 PCI-E.

those are some of the graphic card:

Yes all PCI-E 2 GPU's will work just fine in a PCI-3 slot so the HD 7870 will work as it should.

Overclock, But I think that you should think long and hard about doing this,get it wrong and you will fry your GPU.

You can use this which will come with your GPU drivers. ATI Overdrive. This is quite good. ATI Tray Tools.
