Hello tom's community. I recently got a new pc. HP workstation xw4600
Specs:
Windows 7 Home 64bit
Motherboard Intel HP 441449-001
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 / 2.5 GHz
RAM: 4.0 GB
GPU; x1600 series
PSU: 475.0 W 80 PLUS

More detailed specs:

As i have said i changed windows 7, 500gb kingston SSD and a GPU x1600 series.

My question is, will hd 7770 work in this pc? Is the PSU enough? If not could you recommend other GPU? my budget is 100-150$ +- (it can be to 200$). Pc will be mainly for gaming, like Battlefield 4, diablo 3, starcraft 2, crysis 3, metro last light and so on.

Yes it will work. As the board has PCI Express 2.0. Make sure you use the x16 slot.

And PSU is also good enough.

Yea a 7770 would work well, though it wouldn't work too well with those games you mentioned to be honest. A 7790 (TDP 85W) would run those games fairly well at respectable settings and should also fit within your budget (though I worry about your OEM PSU D: )

Yes the Amd 7770 will definetly work on ur motherboard... And the game mention by u will definetly work at 60 fps according to your monitor..... Also the one G.P.U which you have mention is a good for moderate gaming... See that You take 4 gb of more ram.... PSU is fine.....
