Intel Core i7-2600K
GA-Z77-DS3H Motherboard
Corsair TX Series 650W (Is this enough????)

Which graphics card would be best for me? I will mostly use it for casual gaming. Currently into Diablo 3, but will probably start playing games that demand more out of my computer. The 7870 is also an option, but I don't know how long it would last before I would need to upgrade. I want this card to last at least 2 more years before upgrading. The 7870 is $200, the 760 is $250, but the 7970 is on sale for $310. I've seen the the 7970 usually goes for $400, but I don't know how good it is compared to the others. I obviously want to take advantage of this deal, but don't want to spend too much at the same time. Like I said, I want this card to last.

Which graphics card would be best for me? I will mostly use it for casual gaming. I've been planning on getting the 7870, but with the 760 out, I don't know which is worth the price. Also, would it be better to invest in the 7870 so I could possibly crossfire in the future, or would the 760 be good enough?

7950 and 760 trade blows. All depends on the game



Also, is my power supply enough for my processor and gpu?

well, if u can afford a hd7970, it would be the best and it comes with 4 free games. Otherwise a gtx760 would be very good. The hd7950 boost version and gtx760's performance depends on the game, they are more or less the same.get the one which is cheaper.
But the hd7970 would be best choice and would smash these cards in performance.
