like ANY

here is a list of recommendations:
POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENT FOR GRAPHICS CARDS

considering the requirements are listed for total system power and a 65 watt i3 is less than most any other cpu even the GTX 690, whose suggestion is 620, will work. but there maybe a problem with it needing two 8 pin PCI power connections.

What are the prices for the 7850 or 660? Personally, I'd rather buy the 660.

The 2120 is fine.

199- hd 7850 or 229-gtx 660

199- hd 7850 or 229-gtx 660

Can't go wrong with either choice. If an extra $30 is ok, then get the 660. IG you want to stay under $200, then 7850.

Nicely done. 6950 is like 7850 in a lot of games. What brand did you get? I assume it was new, right?

 

[skitz9417]

asus yea it is

Is it the 1gb or 2gb? It must be the 2gb. Should be fun.

 

[skitz9417]

nah 1gb

Your gonna love your new system. Just don't play it too much or the girlfriend will start bitching.
I suggest buying her a iPad. That helped to keep her quiet when I play.

I just meant that with your new system you will be playing on it a lot more. Enjoy.
