I've seen people running a 7770 on a 250W power supplies, so your 450w PSU is golden, since your CPU doesn't need much power anyway. Even a R9 280X can be run on a 450W psu, but it would stress the PSU too much and the PSU would die shortly.
My power supply is powerlink 450wats. I've asked around in other forums and some people said that i couldn't run 7770 because the power supply is bad. Are you completely sure that this supply will hold the 7770 with no...
My specs are amd athlon x2 2.5 ghz 4 gigs of ram ddr2 mainboard:nf4 am2l gpu:9300 gs power supply: 450wats
And tell me please if there is a chance i could run modern games like battlefield 3 on my machine, considering that my resolution is 1280x1024

Don't get a 7750. It aint a real "gaming" card. Get a 7770. Here's a MSI 7770 for $109. It'll run games far better than a 7750.

You can put a pci-e 3.0 in to a 2.0 slot. There is no performance difference between 2.0 and 3.0. I think the only difference is the bandwith. But take a look below, the picture shows even a GTX 680 not being affected from 3.0 to even 1.0. So, you're fine with your 7750/70.

Well... It's hard to say. I don't know much about Powerlink, but i guess the PSU Isn't 80+ Bronze. You could also get a new PSU. The Corsair CX430 Would be really good for what you need and it's preety cheap now.
