Solution
The FX-8350 is $200 and it will be just fine. I'm glad we were able to help you, good luck!

The reason I recommended those 2 other cards is that the 7770 will probably be outdated in a while and you want to have a nice GPU to play your games at 60 FPS or more. If you do purchase a better GPU I recommend you get the ASUS R9 270x, it has great cooling and it comes with a core clock of 1120MHz and 1280 Stream Processors; it's $209 for $10 more than the other cards it's worth it.
