If you buy E 8400 on your monitor resolution this is a good option : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150540 110$

Well....if you could send us some Electronic store links in your region that would be most helpful. We do not know what kind of computer stores that are around you either so please bare in mind on that...

Recommending a GPU without first knowing what kind of PSU he has is pointless, IMO. If it is a weak PSU, especially one that is as old as the Pentium D he is running, then he'll have to buy a new PSU too. Hopefully not though.

So aliromy70, lets do this. Can you list what PSU you have?

Edited because I didn't read enough. >_>;

Well, I can't comment on the 5770 HD, but the E8400 is a fantastic processor. I run that right now in my main rig.
