Hi all,
I have a big problem with the choice of graphics card for my current PC and other components. After one game I've noticed that I really need install new graphic card, but wich one I can't decide yet. For gamming of course.
My current PC specs are:
OS: 8.1 64-bit
Intel Core i3-2100 3.10GHz Sandy Bridge 32nm
RAM: 4,00GB 1-сhannel DDR3 532Mhz (someone said that is PC8500/1066MHz)
MB: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. H61M-S2-B3 (Socket 1155)
Intel HD Graphics 2000
Monitor: SyncMaster740n (1280x1024 60Hz)
465GB Seagate ST500DM002-1BD142 (SATA)
PS: CODEGEN 400W Model: 400X
In the beggining I wanted to buy only gr. card, something cheap. But after that some mates strongly recommend change PS on 600W, buy another +4GB RAM kit and then gr. card.
So I was thinking, watching, searching for other components and decides that...okey it's time to upgrade my PC anyway. Well I found some components and thinking, do they will work well on my PC or not? Sorry for dumb question(s).
For another +4GB RAM I didn't find in local stores DDR3 4Gb with PC8500/1066MHz. Only on PC10600/1333MHz.
So I found this: Kingston 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 CL9 DIMM (Kit of 2) HyperX Fury Series
And for PS on 600W I found this:
SU Aerocool KCAS 600W, 80 PLUS BRONZE, active PFC
Those 2 componets are okey or I need something different?
Okey, now for gr. card. I've searching many times, and still can't decide wich gr. card I need to choose. Budget is minimum 200 euro for gr. card.
I'm planing something on 2GB memory, Radeon or Nvidia. Also confused between 192-bit and 256-bit. Don't planing play on multi-monitors. Don't need OC versions. Don't care about ultra settings, atleast medium/high.
On other forum, one guy said only if I'll change RAM (+4GB) and PS on 600W, then I can hope for gtx 760/R9 280/HD 7950. But they are kinda expensive for me. Also some guy on youtube recommend GTX 660.
Can you please help me with all this?

Memory: Yes that's 1066MHz, since its DIMM, it shows speed/2 as single channel speed. I advice you to go for 2X4GB module straight to avoid memory issues by mixing new memory with old one. Your MoBo does support 1333MHz memory so you should be fine with your choice. 1600Mhz is around the same price and shouldn't be a problem on your MoBo.
PSU: Nope, that PSU is very poor quality, and I wouldn't recommend that, get any 500W+ Antec/ SeaSonic/ XFX/ EVGA PSU for good quality. XFX TS 550W is a good value/money.
GPU: R9 270X will be a worthy option to go with, a good high-ultra card with good value/money. Asus/ Sapphire/ MSI/ GigaByte are the choice of brands to go with for AMD GPUs.

That PSU is trash. Stick with Antec, XFX, Seasonic.Get 1600mhz RAM, not 1333. It should cost the same.
The GPU all depends on what resolution you play at and the setting your want. For your system I recommend an r9 270.
I've checked that my motherboard doesn't support 1600mhz, max is 1333mhz. Or I'm wrong?
Well I can play on fullscreen or even in window mode, medium/high setting.

Yes 2X4GB is alright, you should consider RJX 1.5V 1600MHz/CL9 though, they'll be downclocked by MoBo but you can run them at stated freq by enabling XMP from BIOS (which I think you'll have to set up manually (not the XMP, but the memory settings like timings and speed) as XMP isn't mentioned in MoBo's description).
SeaSonic makes fantastic PSUs too, what's the model you're looking at? XFX PSUs are also made by SeaSonic!
Yes Asus R9 270X would be a good choice to max out most games on 1280X1024 (I know its a weird resolution, I had one too(HP L1710)).

About RAM, hope that all run okey without any problems!
PSU: I was watching on Gigabyte PSU and Corsair, and now Seasonic.
If you want, you can click on this link, it's where I thinking to buy components, it's on english.
GPU: For me it's not weird it's ok, I get used to anyway, I kinda don't like wide monitros with full HD. So maybe in future, I'll find something okey.

I'd get S12MII 520W:
http://www.datagate.ee/pc-components/psu/seasonic-m12ii...
In Corsair, only the RM series is worth a buy and its really pricey, GB is not into the PSU market much so avoid it.

Question about PSU. if I'll buy PSU Seasonic on 600W for future pc upgrade...will be that okey or better stick with 500w?

For cards upto R9 280, 520W is ok, but up from there, like R9 290, 600W is recommendable, so S12II 620W would be a good option to go with taking upgradibility into perspective, I suggested 520W as its enough for your rig. But 620W would be even better
