Hi all a have a :
cpu: amd phenom 2 x4 965
hard : 1 tera 5400
ram : 6g 1333 bus
mother : gigabyte 880 - usb3
monitor : 19 inch

I want to buy a garaphic card that makes me run games for 2 or 3 years --
I do not care about high setting just making the game works fine even on low setting and resolution
I think of :
sapphire hd 7770 which is very suitable for my budget
or it must be something 7850 1g or 650 ti 1g to live 2 or 3 years
again i dont care about high setting just run the game smooth

I will have a new power supply hec 450 w or gamma 500w
ram is 3 x 2g

More about : basic graphic card

You can go for a 7770, should do high settings for other games today. Then next year, around mid settings. Next next, low.

You forgot to mention the two most important pieces of information......what is your power supply make and model and your budget??

Then maybe someone can suggest something. Your 5400rpm hd is seriously going to hamper your performance though, not only that, your running your ram in the wrong configuration (likely). Your ram is supposed to be in pairs so it runs in dual channel mode, not single channel mode. Ex 2GB x 2 or 4GB x 2 or 4GB x 4 etc.

yep buddy a sapphire radeon hd 7770 is the card you need ...it can play modern games at ultra at 720p or above resolutions easily (not at 1080p) .and its a futureproof card too (2-3 years of assured gaming is possible) ..don't think ,just buy it .and don't buy anything above this card cause they will have some bottleneck issues with your rig ...buy sapphire radeon hd 7770 1gb ddr5 and enjoy gaming ....

Well if you get a quality 500w uinit, a good 80+ bronze unit I would recommend at least a HD7850 if you want it to play modern games for a few years. A X4 965 will not bottleneck even a HD7970.
