This will run modern games at a mix of medium and high settings. Some VERY demanding games will run smoothly with more medium settings but other games like skyrim or games 1 year old or older will run at high or better. It all depends on the game.

Look for another hd7850. You could change to a 650ti BOOST but it is decent drop in performance.
Look for any 970 chipset motherboard.

Well the 7850 is actually a very good card and it is mysteriously cheap sometimes. It really is normally out of your price range for a build like this and a 650ti would be more reasonable but it will be a pretty big downgrade. Pretty much looking at medium settings at best in all games at 1080p. Some older games may run at high but I'm not going to guarantee it.
okay i found it but its only a 1gb card is this the same one you were talking about?

It is not nearly as good as the 7850, but it will play modern games comfortably at medium settings.
