The link you gave didn't work for me.
But i'm sure that card will work. And i'd consider max out the ram to 8gb

The card will work. Unless you have a bad card.
But you won't get the maximum performance out of that card because everything is so old

Thank you very much, My love is for AMD so that CPU will do me

woworwow · Jul 6, 2014

Remember, you need a FM2 motherboard for that CPU

woworwow · Jul 6, 2014

Any FM2 motherboard will do.
That's not bad, since you're not overclocking.
If you overclock, you need a better motherboard

Seems cool, Well to be fair in a few months i am getting the 780ti with an I7 3770k 1200 corsair PSU and 16gb 1600mhz ram soo??

woworwow · Jul 6, 2014

Why not use 4th gen?

I know that this one is not a 'k' version but i7 performs nicely even on stock speeds. And the PSU and RAM is overkill. 650w would be fine. And i don't see the use of 16gb ram for gaming only

Eddie Sharp · Jul 6, 2014

I do video editing to, I run like 4 X sony vegas pro 12 at the same time and with my 2 screens i have like 30 appliations open :/ and yea that i7 is nice and how about this PSU ? http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/components-upgrades/other-components/power-supplies/corsair-cx750-atx-psu-750-w-21891338-pdt.html?gclid=CjkKEQjw5-OdBRDW3ceD9fL0r4QBEiQAW7htXW9ACeUSLvXoEcOq1s-Yuey6IojeJZME9GGsVohTeB7w_wcB&srcid=198&cmpid=ppc~gg~~~Exact&mctag=gg_goog_7904&s_kwcid=AL!3391!3!37090732340!!!g!66577288460!&ef_id=U7Ry7AAAAekifSM2:20140706174931:s

woworwow · Jul 6, 2014

Well then now 16GB does make sense.
You might want to check this for the PSU
