& Cooler Master Extreme 2 475 watt. But i dont know what kind of processor will be the best for gaming and compatible with my GPU.

DO NOT XFIRE an HD7770. Get the best single GPU you can afford or buy one now and sell ti later for a better GPU, it IS NOT worth it to Xfire mid range cards.

I agree on not getting the Coolermaster extreme PSU. Also what is your budget???
We can not help you if we do not know how much you can spend?

If you are looking at AMD, get at least the FX-4300 as it is base on piledriver which has greatly improved upon the flawed 4100(bulldozer) architecture.

The FX4100 has MANY issues and is not good for gaming. Gaming requires fast PER CORE performance, which the 4100 does not have. You would be better of getting an i3 if you don't go for the 4300.

You asked what is better for gaming, so I am answering by saying the FX4300 is MUCH better than a FX4100.

For gods sake (Im atheist but anyway) dont buy 2*7770s and crossfire them!!! Get single 660/7850/7870. For CPU you should go with Intel and their Core series (i3/i5). You can get good mobos for same/lower price at Intel CPU too. But its your money.

Choose i3 if you cant go with i5. Just dont go with AMD in their CPU series beacuse you will be dissapointed. They are worse.
And that i3 will be perfect

Shhh, there are many improvements to the piledriver. ITs a better option than an I3 if you consider OCing.

If You Can't Go For i5 ! Get The Intel Core i3 3570k good for gaming and it's a quad core processor! Think this will help you :) :)

If you don't know then be quiet please. In this case the 4300 is a good option. Equally good if not a better option than an i3.

but my research about i3 vs fx ... i3 is more powerful for desktop performance and Fx will be a good graphics display and good for gaming...

Really confuse because so many option on Fx/APU/ and Intel CPu...

But some one can help me to plan full spec for medium pc gaming... ? Setting can be ultra or else ? Budget is $700... =)

i really appreciated you all give me a little knowledge about pc... so i dont want to waste money to change the other things that only because of some component is not right or not suitable for gaming... im just want to build 1 pc gaming that can play all newest game... at least can build for 2 years... =) Maybe u can suggest me a suitable component even my budget is not enough for that... im a bussines man, so im not worry about money man...

And for your GPU choice you should consider the 7850 with 2G RAM too. I just bought one on Friday and I am really happy with the choice. My choice was the "Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5, 2x DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort". Your PC will be still quiet, you can save on your power supply and you have power enough to play in the higher graphics options most of the games (depends what you play). And here in Germany the price for the board is falling, I suppose that should happen also by you (wherever you are). And I read some article that the board is excellent for crossing it if you mean later.

P.S. sorry for my English :na:
