Hye,

This is the desktop spec' :
- i5 3470 3.2~3.6gHz
- mATX gigabyte H61M DS2 R3
- 4+4gb corsair ram 1600 MHz
- Nvdia GT 610 2gb 64 bit galaxy
- 550Watt psu AVF
- casing Aerocool strike x advance (4 fan)

Is this sufficient for gaming or have to upgrade anything?

no need to add a cooler. your motherboard is fine, it doesnt affect gaming performance as long as it has a 16x pcie. which it does. you are fine

Actually I'm on tight budget and I prefer the HD 7790 compared to GTX 760. Will HD 7790 run correctly on my desktop?

There's one more thing, is my mobo (mATX) can handle modern games smoothly or maybe (with HD 7790)?
Is it necessary to plug cooler to my cpu? Right now my desktop temp is at 37-42 degree in idle state..
