Guys i appreciate your willness to answer me and thank u so much , but l this costs 160 us dollars not 130 , and second it needs 130w (HD 7850) , can my system handles this watt?i mean my old Grafic card needs only 40 w...lol
 


There is a mail in rebate and you get a $30 prepaid visa card.
And for the mobo, it should be able to handle it.

Also keep in mind your CPU will bottleneck the GPU.
 
Pretty sure the model number he gave is an OEM unit. OEM units are usually just fine, until you start stressing them, so you don't want to get to close to the 500w max. I'd say stick with a 650ti, they use less than 75w, are right in your price range, and are fast enough that they can still be considered viable cards.
 


that is incorrect. the 650ti is a +110W gpu. the 650 is a 63W gpu. basically nvidia doesn't compete well with AMDs CGN 7xxx series for low power and high performance with kepler. The 77xx radeons all are vastly higher performers then the similar performing 650 and 650ti at much lower power consumption numbers. heck, the 7750 is a sub 50W gpu and the 7790 is a sub 90W gpu.
 
7yeah the radeon 7850 is pretty awesome for the money, it also comes with a free game which is always nice. if your lucky and can wait til november you may even be able to find a 7870 for around that and that would just kill!
 

And another thing , i saw in (ASROCK 880GM-LE RETAIL)
mother board , 4 cables with plastic base at the end of them in front of my graphic card on the right side ( 2cm to the right) , which i think are to provide power to the on/off and reset button of the pc .
My card is 17.9cm in lenght , but 7850 or gtx650 are up to 20cm length .
My question is should i be worried about these cables block the length , of the new card which is up to 20 cm?

 

at 20cm it shouldn't cause much trouble, more important is case size. if length is an issue you may want to check out xfx's cards, they tend to be a bit shorter. i wouldn't be too worried though.
 
7790-7750 all low power consumers ran x-fire with 7750's with a 350w PSU didn't notice any issues. Radeon does have Nvidia beat with the lower end gamer market. Good price points for performance.
