1. I would say, yes for now. Depends on your resolution too. But I suggest up it to 7950 if you can up your budget a bit. But if not then might as well go with 7970. It would really come down to your budget.

2. I'm just curious why you picked a z77 board if your not into overclocking. I would have bought a h77 board instead.

It depends really, sometimes the stores people buy it from are retarded and offer great deals with a non overclockable CPU + an overclockable board. I've seen it many times, and it even happened to me. My i5 3550+ my z77 was $350, but getting an i5 3550 + a h77 individually was like $380. :lol:

haha. yes I've come across with those deals too. but sometimes they put some shitty boards. :lol: but if your lucky with the parts, you'll have a great deal. :lol: That's why I'm asking why he picked that out, if he got a deal or he just went picked it. could have checked he could save money or not.

Near local store offer i5-760 with entry-level asrock motherboard for $180 :lol:. Maybe they need to clean their store from old tech things
