Okay, so here's a link to the pc I plan on getting; I plan on upgrading the psu to a 600w psu I have lying about so don't bring that up please. Anyway, the title is self-explanatory but let me elaborate, I am worried about the pcie slots, I have no clue about this really. It says it has a 1x pcie x1, a 1x pci 1 a 1x pcie x16 and 2x ps/2.

Anyway Here's the link so you can have a nosey around.

Also Id like to know what would you think of the system with the upgraded psu and gpu.
Lastly, if anyone wants best answer can you help me out on this too:
What type of 7770 would you recommend, I see ones with upgraded 100mm fans and oc'd to 1050 MHz to ones oc'd to 1020 MHz but with better ventilation or something. By this I mean, (if ts still unclear), what type should I get, a sapphire an Asus one, I don't just want your opinion, I want it backed with facts.
Anywa thanks a bunch if you answer them and I need an answer asap, as I plan on ordering this for Christmas so the sooner I get this sorted the quicker I can move on to getting a monitor and installing the 7770

Well you should have no problem running it in that computer what so ever. I would suggest squeezing a 7790 into your budget though since they fill in the gap between entry level and mid-tier. You could also get a HD 6670 and save a few bucks and take advantage of dual graphics mode, that would actually outperform the 7790 option if you are willing to put up with the hassle

Wait, so you mean get the 6670 and use crossfire with the 7770 to outperform the 7790. But anyway thanks, also i really need to know, how many graphics cards does this motherboard support? Can i even get 2 graphics crads in this motherboard, as there is only 1 x16 pcie slot

Also, will this psu be able to support the 7790?
I just looked it up and saw that for system requirements i need 1x75 watt 6 pin powersupply, does this psu definitely have it.

No I mean crossfire the 6670 with the APU your computer has but I hear that's a real hassle and some games don't support it that well. The power supply you have is diffidently good enough and has the right connector and choosing which 7790 to get, well you get what you pay for. The more expensive one has better cooling and will be able to OC more but the cheaper one will work just fine as well. It all depends on how much you're willing to spend
