need a quick double check on my rig please.

getting to the point right away, im upgrading my cpu from intel g860 to an intel i7 3770 and im waiting for it to be delivered, the motherboard that i have is msi h61m-e33 w8, 4gigs of ram, amd hd 7790, using cx430 psu. I worry that this whole setup is going to fail, cpu being one of the good ones and my motherboard isnt at the same level and also i use an amd gpu. we've all heard the intel-amd incompatibility. a few more questions i have are that is the whole system going to bottleneck? i have never had a decent pc in my life that could run games and do stuff without hickups. i worry if it is going to be the same case this time too. i will be sticking to this setup for a while before i make any more upgrades. another question, is the cx430 enough for the setup?

There are no issues with running an AMD GPU with an Intel processor. I'm running two right now and I'm typing this message on one of them.

As long as the motherboard supports your processor you'll be fine. in that area as well.

The CX430 would not be my first choice, but it isn't the worst PSU out there and it should provide enough power.

You can put your components together in PCPartPicker and it will do a power requirements estimation for you.


Good luck and happy gaming. What you have now is just "buyer's remorse" which is what happens right after you spent some time planning and executing a major purchase and then you get a bit jittery. Once you have it all assembled and are gaming, you'll be happy again.

everythings look good , the psu will be enough
only suggestion is to buy a dual channel ram kit ( like 2X 4gb DDR3 1333mhz or 1600 oc) if you planned to play games?
the gpu will be on the border for playing games..... the hd 7790 is almost identical to the new R7 260X but for gaming better to go with the R9 series from amd
