As I said before you will not get the full potential of the 7790 if you use a e7400 intel core duo, but it will still run games. But if...

This PSU will support a 7790 perfectly fine, but you aren't going to unleash the Radeon 7790's full potential if you just have a e7400 Core Duo. I would consider upgrading to an i3 if you want to play modern games with decent frame rates. But if you are just doing light gaming then there is no need for a 7790.

umm . . . Crysis 3? That is a really high-end game. You could get a cheap GPU such as the 6670 and that will play crysis 3 on low settings 40+FPS. But you will have to upgrade your CPU though. My suggestion for a budget CPU is a Pentium: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-BX80637G2020-Processor-SpeedStep-Technology/dp/B00B1MU7J0/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1385054982&sr=1-2&keywords=pentium - This CPU and a 6670 will run Crysis 3 on low settings at 40+ FPS - no lag.
6670: http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-Radeon-6670-GDDR3-Graphics/dp/B00BJ2NOXS/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1385055046&sr=1-2&keywords=6670

@ Muizhunter: No problems at all, the power supply will run a HD7790 easily.
Crysis 3 is THE most demanding game out there but your system should be able to play it smoothly if you select the settings carefully.
As a rule you should always play at the monitors native resolution, flat panel (LCD) displays produce blocky images if they are run at lower resolutions.
Your English seems fine to me.
