Which one of these configurations is the best one?
*1
CPU: Intel Core i3 3220
MoBo: Gigabyte GA-B75-D3H
RAM: Corsair XMS3 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz dual channel
HDD: Seagate ST500, 500 GB Sata III
Graphics: Asus HD7850 1 GB DDR5
*2
CPU: Intel Core i3 3220
MoBo: Gigabyte GA-B75-D3H
RAM: Corsair XMS3 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz dual channel
HDD: Seagate ST500, 500 GB Sata III
Graphics: Palit GTX660 2 GB DDR5
***for both Blueberry G52 560W:
(I come from Sarajevo, Bosnia. *2 conf. can be upgraded to GTX 660 ASUS DirectCU II Edition. I prefer Nvidia, and the *1 conf. is the cheaper one. I'm planning to play games like The Sims 3, NeedForSpeed World, Cities XL, and, probably, the most demanding game will be NSF The Run, or Crysis (2). I'm also planning to play with AutoCAD or 3ds Max.)

That PSU is likely trash. I would try to get one from Antec, XFX, Seasonic, or Corsair.

They will perform about the same in gaming. Here is a comparison of the 2 video cards: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/778?vs=783

1. You can't just cheap out on your CPU, especially not for gaming. A 3220 with a GTX660 will not give you good performance. Get an i5-3570K.
2. The B75 chipset is geared toward small businesses. Get the Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H.
3. tiny voices is right, that PSU is not good at all. Look at this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182262

Edward Gelernt :

I have an hd 7870 and an i3. I have no bottlenecks and I have no trouble maxing most games. an i3 is fine for the time being.

There is no point to get a z77 chipset if you aren't overclocking. That is what they are for. An h77 chipset is better than a b75, but on a low budget, a b75 board is perfectly good.

I largely recommended the Z77 because I also recommended the 3570K. Also, EddyBSichPaa, it's best to be upgrade-ready if you can. I'd recommend the Z77-DS3H, but the H77-DS3H is good too. However, for a gamer, I wouldn't recommend B75. Just my opinion.

The motherboard will make zero difference in gaming performance at all. If he is planning to upgrade the CPU soon, I would recommend an h77 board, but if he isn't, a b75 board is perfectly good. The money is MUCH better spent on a GPU.
