Lol, knew i was forgetting something. Hadn't had my coffee yet sorry, give me a sec.

Edited my post, for this money a 750k will be the better choice, and i don't think you'll notice a performance difference.

Thanks :D, I'll keep this but for my last question to be sure is....

what would be the frame rate of ( AMD Athlon II X4 750K with HD 7770) vs (AMD FX-6300 with hd 7770) in BF3 ultra and high settings... I'm just curius :D.

You wouldn't be able to play on ultra with a HD7770, but that's because it's limited by the GPU not the CPU. You wouldn't notice a difference between those CPU's with that GPU.
