But what I would like two know, is how much of the GPU will be avaiable with this cpu and will it limit the performance of myt computer and the cpu, By how much?

I also have 6GB ram DDR3*


Thanks so much

HD 7790 won't bottleneck Athlon x4 740. You can check your PSU wattage output by opening your PC case and reading from the PSU label. It'd be better if you can take a picture of the PSU label and post it here.

Well that's a decent non-generic PSU. Little low on the amps, but nothing bad.

HD 7790 draws 85W which is quite low compared to high-end GPUs. You will be fine using a 500W PSU.

As I've read on AMD's website, it requires only one 6pin connector, so you don't have to worry about some particular cable management
