Ihackedurgf wrote What setings could I play far cry 3 bf3 and the cyrisis series?

In Far Cry 3 on high with lowered AA, you can expect ~60 FPS if you overclock. The game is a beast. In BF3 you can do completely max settings at ~60 FPS overclocked, and you'll be able to play the currently released Crysis games all maxed out at ~60 FPS. In Metro 2033, you'll have to overclock to get consistently playable FPS in high-action scenes. Far Cry and Metro are known to seriously punish any card.

So you are sure it will fit in my case and it compatible with my motherboard? Also what do I do with the graphics card I have now? Im very sorry for asking so many questions.

The case will accommodate everything fine and your current board is adequate for these upgrades. I just found that your PSU is the Corsair CX500, which is enough to handle a 7950 if you don't go crazy with overclocking the card. I would advise you leave the card at stock settings with the CX500, which is unfortunate because the 7950 overclocks very, very well with minimal effort.

You can just sell any hardware you replace with upgrades.

If I get the 650w psu will I be able to overclock the card? Also what did you say to do with my card?

I apologize, I was looking at the wrong numbers for the power consumption of an overclocked 7950. You should be perfectly fine overclocking the card on the PSU you already have as your consumption will likely never exceed 400w.

You can just sell your 7750 if you want after getting a much higher-end card. Do whatever you want with it.

Haha, asking questions doesn't make you annoying.

Since you'll only be upgrading the graphics card, you can just take the side panel off, remove the screw(s) on the expansion slot bracket(s) holding the 7750 in place, take out the 7750 while holding the tab on the PCI-E slot open, put in the new card where the 7750 was after removing another expansion slot cover (if only one was used by the 7750), put two screws in the bracket to secure the new card, and plug in the two power connectors. That's all there is to it and graphics card swaps are very straightforward.

It would be better to just make a new topic. I'm not always going to be on and other people are usually able to help. I also don't add people to give advice, sorry.
