Hello, i have a bit older 19" monitor with 1440x900 native monitor resolution. I would like to know what is best GPU that can run any current game on at least medium settings with 2xaa on that res. At the moment i m considering something like MSI GTS 450 or Powercolor HD 6770. My CPU will probably something like Athlon II x3 455/x4 631 or Pentium G630/G840 (i even read in some reviews that the Celeron G530 is the best price-performance ratio ever, so i may even get that).

Also i m also considering going with the APU.In that case i would get an A8 3850 and add a HD 6570 DDR3 for Dual Graphics mode.I hear the IGP in APU can OC very well (like 50-60% on IGP and the CPU can reach 3.6 GHz most of the time), and i would OC the HD 6570 too.

Go for the Pentium G620 or G630; Athlons and APUs are not the best bang for your buck when gaming. Also, you may experience microstuttering with hybrid crossfire.

You could go for a cheap HD 6770, but spend a tiny bit more and get this HD 7770. It will overclock well, and you'll be able to play all games on high at your resolution.

well im live in Serbia so i can't order from newegg, and HD 7770 si about $50 more expensive than 6770 in my country (HD 6850 is cheaper quite a bit than 7770, but im on tight budget)

6850 is not only cheaper here as well, but also more powerful, the 7770 is not a good purchase at this point in time in this country either unless you find a really good MIR like jessterman21 did, even then I'd still advise getting a 6850 for a few dollars more.

if i go with the HD 6850 i have to get a weaker CPU, so i think il go with the HD 6770.

Yep, that's a great little card - it will play everything on medium to high settings with a Pentium.
