Hi there! Can someone please help me?
I have an old processor it's a Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.20 GHz
I am thinking of buying these 3 items,I need help with 2 of them.

The Graphics Card :

The Power Supply :

The Monitor (No Help Required) :

So I decided to start playing some modern games like Battlefield 3 and Grand Theft Auto 5,and I need some help.I have been looking for a good Graphics Card for about a day and I came across this.I've been looking at youtube videos and the Card looks very good.I have also noticed that it needs 500W power supply,my PC doesn't have that much, so I decided to get this Power Supply, it offers 750W and I think that will be enough.

So here come my questions :
1) Do I really need that much power or will a 600W Power Supply do the job?
2) Is this card compatible with my motherboard? I don't know if I have a PCI Express 2.0 or a 1.0.
3) One of my friends is telling me that my processor sucks (his isn't any better) it there any truth in his words?
4) And finally,am I making the right choice here,any difficulties or dangers I could encounter?

I don't know the background of this machine or even where it came from.
Thank you!

Unfortunately, your CPU is over 10 years old, and is therefore COMPLETELY inadequate for ANY gaming besides solitaire (for all intents and purposes). Pairing an HD 7850 with it would be a disaster.

I know you may be a bit new to all this, and that's fine, we all have to start somewhere. I really don't mean to offend, I totally understand that you're excited and eager to get building and gaming, but honestly, I would suggest reading up a bit more on PC building before you start shelling out your money. A simple PC building 101 article or video will answer your questions.
