Ok what about the Nvidia gtx 650 Ti? Its $10 more and it gives better performance. In my experience the nvidia cards run smoother and without micro stutters. I was having issues with amd and those micro stutters drove me crazy. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-01gp43652kr Your...

No. You needn't change the card. The difference in performance between PCIe 3.0 and 2.0 is almost negligible. So you should be fine with the 7770 and is a good choice for budget pc, but i would advise you to check out the 7850. The cheapest i found them are from gigabyte.

Oh and yes you are right. The CPU you have chosen will not support PCIe 3.0 but i wouldn't worry about that since it is not that big of a difference. Building a budget pc you will probably go for a PCIe 2.0 graphics card anyway.

The Pentium G2120 is 1155 socket and your motherboard has a 1155 socket. So you are good to go. And the motherboard does support PCIe 3.0. Source: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H77M/?cat=CPU P.S. Did you choose a graphics card yet?

Make sure that you have connected everything properly, the 4pin 12V on the motherboard, check that you have correctly installed the RAM. I would disconnect everything and connect only the main cable and the 4pin cable to the motherboard (disconnect all case fans) and see what happens. If the...

I think the most powerful processor you can install on that board is the Phenom II x6 1090T -> http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Phenom%20II%20X6%201090T%20Black%20Edition%20-%20HDT90ZFBK6DGR%20(HDT90ZFBGRBOX).html But that is an old processor and while you would see some improvement, it...

I found that the stock cooler is loud and inefficient. The problems arise in the summer with the stock cooler if you have a hot room :) like me. So i would go with an aftermarket cooler even if you go and choose the non K version. I bought the CNP9900 (because it was OVER 9000 :))) with the...

This is what i found for your case. Maximum video card size: 16"/406mm (Note: some video cards may block access to the adjacent hard drive bay) source: http://www.ebuyer.com/245777-antec-902-nine-hundred-two-v3-gaming-case-0761345-15924-1

I have found the solution!!! My GPU usage is now 99% all the time and my frames are up as they should be. I turned off the v-sync in game settings and set it to adaptive in the Nvidia control panel. Also changed settings to Single display performance and Prefer maximum performance on power...

Hi. I have a single gtx 660 ti OC. I know its not as powerful as your system is but i have the same issue as you. In free beta with beta 313.96 drivers i had constant 55-60 FPS on high settings (Fxaa, 1920x1080). Now i have sudden frame drops to 30 and GPU usage at around 50-60% while frames...

Thanks for the reply. Will try them out just with my on-board sound card.

Hi I have the gigabyte z77x-d3h motherboard with VIA hd audio codec VT2021. http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4144&dl=#ov From what i have read onboard sound cards have come a long way. Will the Sound Blaster Recon 3d...
