Hello guys,noob here, i need a set-up for a medium range pc, i usually play games, often but i'm not concerned that much with graphics and extreme details (before my 7 years old pc died, i played at very very low details without caring). Now i want something that is not too much expensive, but that will keep going good for at least 4-5 years (i repeat, no need of high specs). My budget is 500 euros circa (600 dollars, i live in Italy).
I watched a few sites, and also the monthly chart on this site but i'm not sure that my configuration will give me best perfomance for this money, and a suggestion from you expert guys will be apreciated :D

No in-out (keyboards,screen,printer) No OS.
I need this pc very quickly, have to buy next week.

Preferred website:
http://www.e-key.it/
http://www.eprice.it/
if you prefer amazon.it, is ok too but i will definitely buy from the first site, so pieces on that one will be needed

No overcloacking ( dunno anything about it)

mounting and Test PC € 35,00

EK00015179 RAM DDR3 Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 1600MHz 8GB (2x4GB) CL9 € 59,10

EK00034813 motherboard AsRock B75M-GL R2.0 Socket 1155 Intel B75 DDR3 SATA3 USB3 VGA DVI MicroATX € 49,60
EK00035491 power supply PC Corsair Builder Series CX600 80Plus Bronze 600W
EK00029124 Case iTek Pearl Advanced Midi-Tower Nero € 27,60
EK00038097 VGA Sapphire Ati AMD Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition OC Core 1100MHz Memory GDDR5 5000MHz 1GB DVI HDMI DP € 107,30
EK00029529 Hard Disk Interno Samsung/Seagate ST500DM005/­HD502HJ 500GB 3.5" 7200rpm 16MB SATA2 € 44,10

the total for this pc is 582 euros (759 dollars circa), which is over my budget, maybe i can spend less for motherboard and power supply? for gaming is I5 necessary?

For gaming, you could always switch to a Quad Core AMD processor.
It's good for gaming and general use.

thank you both! I've received similar config on the italian versione of the site. I'm looking for that 6 cores amd, but everyone keep saying to me that intel is better and stuff... I think one of this two cpu will be the one.

Talking bout gpu, what do you think of radeon 7790? same price as the gtx650 ti.
