First of all, sorry if my english is not so good.

My problem is that i'm about to get a new graphics card mostly for gaming, and i don't know which one is better for my PC, as i have a kinda crappy PC.

Some of my specs are:

-Processor: i3-2100 3.1Ghz
-Ram: 4GB ddr3
-GPU: 8400gs (i want to get rid of this one)
-PSU: 525W, generic.
-Resolution: 1440x900

I was thinking about getting the Radeon HD7770, what do you guys think? can my PC use it? are there any better options?

If you guys need any other information just ask.

On your current monitor? Absolutely

On a new one at .. say 1920x1080, they should both still handle them at decent settings and decent FPS. If you are thinking about getting a new, larger, higher resolution monitor, then go for the 7770.

By generic i mean it doesn't have a very good brand (i don't know if i'm gramatically correct), and well, at this moment i can just afford a new gpu, and i would like to get a decent one.

I think my motherboard model is this one: ASRock H61M-VS

The problem is that my system is 32-bit, and i think the max RAM i can get is 4GB, at least that's what people told me! Maybe they were wrong?

Sorry, forgot to ask, why would i get the HD 7750? isn't the HD7770 better? or there is another reason?

Ah, yeah no need for 8 gigs on a 32-bit OS.

I would recommend the 7750 over the 7770 simply based on the strength of your PC and the resolution you are using. Now if you're looking to upgrade your monitor to a higher resolution in the near future, then by all means go for the 7770 instead, but if you are gaming at 1440x900, the 7750 is all you need.

My monitor model is this one: Samsung SyncMaster - 19 inches.

I have used this monitor for more than 5 years, it is pretty old, maybe in the near future i will upgrade it, as it is starting to show some weird lines in some places.

One question, do you think i'm going to be able to play most of the new games on decent settings with the HD7750 and HD7770? knowing my PC specs
