What GPU do you have, if you have a mid range GPU and you wish to play on resolution 1600x900 or less, then go for Athlon. It will work fine , but it might bottleneck some games, whereas if you wish to go higher, and as per my advice, i would suggest you to go for phenom or fx 6100. these will serve you well for next 1 or 1.5 years or so.

I will go for a Radeon HD 7750 I GB GDDR5.

I have a 14inch monitor which i got around 5 years back. I dont remember its resolution and cant check it since its not with me currently..

So, if i go with athlon II X4 paired with Radeon HD 7750, will it be enough to get playable fps on a 14inch display?

I think it would b too much for your resolution that has about less than 10 lakh pixels. SO if u plan to upgrade your monitor, then buy 7750, Go for Nvidia if u want Physx, there are some games which look rediculous on AMD cards, no doubt AMD give a bigger Memory bus, but they lack Tesselation computing and Physx support ( i mean less support )..if you wana use this monitor only, go for a liitle cheap GPU :)  and processor will work on this resolution dont worry. Think about Nvidia,thats it.

buddy, Nvidia are a little samrt in their work, in theri 600 series they give 128 bit bus, but for your resolution, you would b fine with ths. So go for 650 .. 2 Gb edition.

thats 9k man, beyond my budget.

I think i'll stick to HD 7750. And as i said i'll be using that monitor, i think 7750 will be fine plus it comes under my budget. or even i can go for 6670 but 7750 is better. What say?

Athlon will do the job. :)

for the time being you can go with it :D
