Is Saphire 7850 2 gb a good card for some new games ?

Coupled at I5-3550 and 8 gb ram.

connected on a 21,5'' monitor 1900*1200 i think.

I am not a extrem gamer.

And i dont know many titles of games.

Do you know some new good games for this system ?

For my situation, is it really better than the HD 7770 ?

21.5" monitor is probably 1680x1050 resolution mate in which case you don't need a 7850 especially since you are not a hard core gamer.

I5 3550

8 gb ram

HD 7850

Monitor 21.5'' 1920*1080

does Saphire hd7850 have enough power to play some new good game in 1920*1080 ?

Does HD7770 have enough power to new games at a lower resolution and keep beautiful pictures ?

Do you have 2 or 3 games very fun with these cards ?

It is powerful enough to play all new games.

At a lower resolution, yes. But you should take advantage of your 1080p resolution. If you can afford a 7850, don't settle for a 7770.

I don't understand the question, sorry

Are there games only for a i7.

Is the I5-3550 good for all games ?

The price for a HD7950 is too high for me.

I will buy max HD7850.

There are no games that require an i5, not to mention an i7, to run well. There maybe a couple games that require an i3 to run well, I'm not sure. Either way, the i5-3550 is a very fast gaming CPU.

That's OK, 7850 is a pretty fast card.

The recommended requirements for Dirt 3 are :

I7-860

HD 4890

Are I5 3550 and HD7850 near of recommended requirements ?

Your i5 is two generations ahead of the i7 860 so it's above the requirements there and the 7850 is far more powerful than the 4890.
Edit: You i5 is actually 3 generations ahead of that i7 if we count Westmere as a generation.
