I think im going to go with this graphics card and for my other question, will the 450w power supply be enough to power everything ?

Work a 7870 and a Rosewill HIVE 550 in. Ditch the silly RAM and give up overclocking support if you're not going to get an aftermarket cooler.

Like so. If it's just CoD, you can easily spend MUCH less by going with an i3-3220, 7850, VP-450, Fractal Core 1000, and the RAM + motherboard combo in the screen-capped build.

"I don't think any of those upgrades are necessary except the video card, and for that you would want a the 1GB version. Double memory cards are only worthwhile for dual GPU setups.
The i3 is still a very capable gaming CPU, 450W is more than enough, and there's no performance reason to buy an aftermarket cooler for a 77W CPU if you're not allowed to overclock."

I was under the impression that you were buying a completely new system with the specs you listed. My suggestions were just based on the assumption that you had $200 left to work with in your budget after adding everything else to your cart.
But I see what you mean now and yes, I would have recommended the exact same thing as he did. A 1GB 7850 is perfect for what you need and the VP-450 is more than capable of running what you have here. You can just add the card to what you have.

I noticed that you are getting H77 mobo, but at the same time getting a 3570k. So you have a motherboard that cant over clock with an unlocked cpu. I would change the cpu to a cheaper one and spend the extra money on a good graphics card. On the other hand if you want to overclock you will need a Z77 motherboard.

Ok im still trying to figure out what will be best for me. I have 2 thoughts in mind, either i can stick with the i3-3220 that i already have and get a $400 graphics card or i was going to upgrade to the i5-3570 and get Radeon HD 7850 1GB. so somebody help me out on this final decision. But like i said im a gun game person so i just want my build to max out call of duty games and pretty much be able to play any game without lag, and also i decided to go with a Rosewill 600W PSU
