hey guys....i know that the hd 7790 is the best out of the bunch but is it to much for my pc specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.93ghz
4gb ram
160gb Hard Disk
Cooler Master RS400
Dual monitor configuration

and i will be playing games at 1366x768...so what vga will suit me best? and will my psu be sufficent for these cards?

Hey, dude. I just recently got an HD 7750 low profile, and it's amazing.

But the thing I wanted to tell you is that I'm running it on a 250W PSU. Not to mention it is one of the cheaper options.
 


Well then you are risking your whole PC every time you turn it on then. It is just a matter of time before that PSU blow's up and it could take the whole rig with it! If you do not value your system then that is fine but it is very bad advise for someone building there own system.

As for as the OP Cooler Master is not the best as far as PSU although it is better than a no name 250w. You would be better with a Corsair Antec XFX PC Power & Cooling Seasonic.

Actually, I did a bunch of research before getting the 7750 with my 250W desktop. There are numerous amounts of people that have run the 7750 with 250W. And I read that the average power usage of the card itself is less than 30. Another thing is that manufacturers are notorious for over-shooting their requires specs.

My desktop is fine and not in risk of "blowing up".
 


Problem is that 250W PSUs do not actually provide 250W in MOST cases.
