Hi, my friend has a budget of +/-1k, probably using it for D3, DOTA 2, HON. I don't think he needs Windows 7 for now.

Hi guys, i'm having a dilemma.

Should I go for
1. CPU+MB:
i5 2320 Asrock H61M/U3S3 or i5 2320 GIGABYTE H61M-USB3-B3 ?

2. PSU:
Seasonic 520w or Superflower 550w?

3. GPU:
HD7850 2G OC or HD7850 2G or GTX560ti 1G or GTX560 1G OC or GTX560 2G?
Currently my monitor is 19'' 1400x900. Maybe going of upgrade to 23'' during June IT Show.

Going to keep my budget below 900. I've already have a case, HDD and OS.
Hopefully to max D3, GW2, and my next upgrade will be when my component start giving me problem .

Any advice?
Thanks in advance

1) 120GB is enough for OS + essential programs + some 6-10 games you name it. Use HDD as personal data storage drive.

2) Maybe you should consider some eIPS panel based monitors that boasts great colour reproduction and wide viewing angle. Even though response time may not be as good as traditional TN panel but many have proven minimal ghosting effect with games.

Hi, Moneyface. thanks for the advice. Just want to clarify a few things:

CPU+MB: Intel Core i5-3570K + Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H
I dont really OC. so would it be better for me to get i7-3770 instead of i5-3570k?
