As long as you stick with AM2 CPUs you'll be OK there, though I worry you will be limiting yourself with anything less than an AM3. What is your budget?

With that Tahiti LE, OP could easily run most games on max. (Depending on CPU, RAM, etc. of course!)

Yes but if you read the rest of his posts he clearly says that he is only looking to upgrade 2 parts...his GPU and PSU

I'll just leave this here....

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/680?vs=549
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2012/11/05/msi-radeon-hd-7850-1gb-review/3

"650Ti Boost is working on very high frequencies and temps thus leaving no space for OCing, whereas 7850 can be boosted quite hard. At the end we look at Watt/FPS, where these cards should be equal."(This is from one of your own links)

And so is this "i don't think that its better than my card since my card is clocked at 1050 mhz core clock so that makes my card better by 14% (according to GD)and the reference 7850 is clocked at 860mhz and still only a tad slower than 650B.so if a 7850 is clocked at 980,it is already better than 650B.i just saw that 650B has more tdp than my card so i think that 7850 is still good :)"

Your links refer to the reference 7850 while mine refer to the actual cards themselves after they leave the manufacture (i.e. Gigabyte, MSI, HIS, EVGA, XFX, I think you get the idea...)

Clearly my benchmarks outweigh yours! Enjoy your 7850, iLakerz! Don't let the Nvidia fanboys keep you down! :)

Hahahahaaa .... before getting to match up benchmarks you should read them carefully at first ...
1- your benchmarks actually ststing the comparison between the 7850 and the non-boost edition .
2- Who in the world told you that 650ti boost gets HOT (as stated earlier) .. Mine at least never gets hot and i don't have any extra cooling in my case (just default)
3- read carefully the tom's review and you can get back to me

I'm not Nvidia fanboy , i'm just stating what is clear to me, and this link provide some insight to temp and power consumption.

Also the game-debate link states the following :
" Now, NVIDIA answers with the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost Edition. An even better Card with an identical price to the HD 7850.

As if that wasn't enough, a solution of two GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost Edition, in SLI, offers superior performance to a single GeForce GTX 680! "

And again i'm not trying to confuse the OP i'm just offering better solution for money and performance
Plus ... again MY GTX650 ti boost doesn't run hot at all, besides the HD7850 when OC'd reaches the level of 650 ti-B

Wouldn't you agree ?
