7850 would perform better than a 560 ti and the 7850 is a newer gen card.

I am running a single 7850 and let me say I have not come across any game where I could not play at High and I could play most games at Ultra with some exceptions.

I would choose a 7950 by far!

turn on v-sync and use catalyst 12.11 beta 11

I put 7850s in crossfire on my system and I had it running at PCI-e 3.0 4x and PCI-e x16 x4 and the performance was crap, trust me DO NOT make this mistake like I did.

You will be all fine, I have run my rig with my brothers 7970 and it was fine and I am also running a i3 3220 and surprisingly these 3rd gen i3's have very good architecture so they do a very good job for gaming especially for there price.

i would definitely go for the MSI.

Graphics Cards will automatically increase there fan speed in accordance to the GPU Temperature so you have nothing to worry about.

GT630's are very low end and will not play modern games well, I would be aiming at a 7770 if i were you.

PhysX is worth about $0.10 to me since it is pretty useless.

Looks good but you don't need to overclock your CPU it's fine as it is.

It will work fine with a i3 3220, I have one and it runs fine and it actually beats all 1st gen i5's, I have a 7850 but I have had my brothers 7970 in my system and it did get bottlenecked a bit but not by too much but I mean a 7970 is light years ahead of a 7870 so you should be fine and games...

Download GPU-Z and run a game in windowed mode and tell us the temperature it goes to.

In today's world of technology 3GB is no longer sufficient for use in games, I would suggest 8GB's of ram and a upgrade to 64 bit windows also if you wanna be more future proof then get 16GB which is only about $80-90.
