It can support all PCI-E graphics cards, so yes it will support both the HD7770 and gts 450. What resolution do you play on? What PSU do you have? And what is your budget? Is it around $100-120?

Well, for around $110, I would suggest getting the AMD HD7770. Maybe there's one on sale and/or with a Mail-in-Rebate.

What PSU do you have? You can look at a sticker that should be on it and find the make/model, how many watts, and how many amps are on the +12v rail.

Just make sure you buy a PSU that is at least 400W and, more importantly, has at least 19Amps on the +12v rail(s). It is okay if it has two +12v rails that aren't 19A by themselves. As long as they add up to more than 19A you're fine. Try to go for a PSU that is around the equivalent of $40-50 USD if you won't be buying in the USA. That should help guarantee some quality.

the antec costs around 25% more, but i'd trust an antec. i've not heard much about the corsair stuff (could be good quality, could be crap), but based on the specs alone, it would be ok. the card you're looking at (7770) is only an 85W card, so even with a crazy 150W cpu you're still plenty safe - as long as the power supply has the right connectors on it (which it does, both the corsair and the antec)
