Do you guys think this build can play steam games on 1280 x 720 resolution on high medium settings with as turned off? With at least 50+ fps? I don't like bottle necking so well it do that? Also, I am getting Ubuntu. (Getting Ubuntu by USB.) Games ill be playing are, cod, bf, minecraft, and what ever Ubuntu has to offer around those category. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1hNMz
Besides gaming, I'll also be using YouTube most the time.

Er, what? First time I've heard of this, unless there's an issue with using Ubuntu?

7850/650ti (or 650ti boost) is up to you really. The 650ti boost is marginally cheaper than the 7850 and is still more than you need for that resolution.

Well, frankly, you actually have too much in there for just playing on a 1280x720 resolution. You could play any current games supported by ubuntu on high at 1080p with aa off with that build.

If you're interested in saving some money, go with a gtx 650ti boost instead, otherwise you're good to go.

GTX 650ti:
- 1072MHz Core Clock
- 6008MHz Effective Memory Clock
- 192-Bit Memory Interface
- 768 CUDA Cores
AMD 7850:
- 920 MHz Clock Speed
- 5000 MHz Effective Memory Clock
- 256-Bit Memory Interface
- 1024 Stream Processors

Keep in mind, while the 650ti has higher clock speeds, the 7850 has a higher bandwidth. Also, CUDA cores are essentially the exact same thing as Stream processors. The AMD wins.

$15 price difference after rebate

Edit: Do not stick an Nvidia card in with an AMD CPU/APU. You will have a bad time.
