Which is considered the best 7770?

Hello its me again!

So I've been reading this thread again and was thinking building a new rig will cost somewhere between 500 euro I really would like to avoid that now, so could I get some cheap memory to get up to 4g, get the 7850 and have windows 7 installed for now to play all new games at 720p, and then in a year or two build a new rig with the 7850?

Could I get away with that and keep an eye out for a used Core 2 Quad

Not all games are cpu limited.. At 720p, you can easily play most of the games at high settings..

Would recommend you to game at the native resolution of your monitor though as has noticeable impact on image quality.

If you can find one of those old Core 2 Quad's that had 6 / 12 Mb L2 Cache; Like q 9500 / q 9550.. it'd be perfect.. Stripped down low speed versions, would not be so effective.. such as q 8200 / q 8300

Also, get a new PSU first if you're planning to buy 7850..

You can also look out for an AMD FX 6300 + MB combo . That's a 6 core, 3.5 GHz chip with excellent performance in games and multitasking.. Would keep things within budget as well..
