Two questions: Is that an single or dual core processor, and does your motherboard have a PCI-E expansion slot?

A HD 4770 if a dual core or a HD 4670 for a single core

I believe it is a single core GPU. I get this from the fact that there isn't an 'X2' in the name...unless you have just missed this out. The Athlon x2's were the first dual core processors from AMD.
