If overclocking is not your thing, you could save $150 for a ~5% performance decrease? (im not including psu price in it)

I would go with Intel Core i5 build. Nothing wrong with the AMD FX build but Intel one is better. Drop the mobo and grab a Z77 which is the current iteration for that chip and has better features. And you should be fine. Here: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CZCY

I'm not planning to overclock, about the PSU it's not a crappy 550W it held a 260 GTX with no problems. I can't buy on micro center.

This is my PSU

Why radeon HD 7870 xt over 7950 ? The price difference is so little but i will get 7870 if i really need a new PSU

The 7870xt is a bit safer for power draw but only by a bi. you pay about $35 more (15% ish) for only 2% increase in performance which makes the 7870xt a better buy

Get the 7950 if you do plan to crossfire later as the 3gb of vram will be useful then and only in crossfire setups with either multiscreen or very high resolution screens

So my PSU is ok ?

is 7870 XT better than 7870 GHZ edition ?


Thanks for you help

550W should be fine and its been able to handle the 260

What brand is it?

Yep the 7870XT is a better card than the 7870ghz

The brand is eXtream

I suggest getting the new psu i suggested.

I will wait 4 Months to re build a new PC. I will wait AMD 22nm processors or less thanks guys

No problem
