- 4+4gb corsair ram 1600 MHz
- Nvdia GT 610 2gb 64 bit galaxy

Actually I'm on tight budget and I prefer the HD 7790 compared to GTX 760. Will HD 7790 run correctly on my desktop?

 

[sheag123]

yes it will, i wouldnt go any lower than that though.

There's one more thing, is my mobo (mATX) can handle modern games smoothly or maybe (with HD 7790)?
Is it necessary to plug cooler to my cpu? Right now my desktop temp is at 37-42 degree in idle state..

no need to add a cooler. your motherboard is fine, it doesnt affect gaming performance as long as it has a 16x pcie. which it does. you are fine
