Switch the i7-3770k to a i5-3570k, it performs just as well

and u will get 90-100$ more for a graphics card

if u would give us a budget that would helpfull
since its fairly hard to recommend products.

As he said, get rid of the i7 3770k ($320) and buy the i5 3570k ($220) which will give you $240, then get the 7870 ($240).

But would he honestly get full retail price for a CPU he's already started using?

I'd try on the integrated if you want more then get the best you can afford.

That's really unfortunate because you're going to lose out on a lot of potential GPU performance, the best you can do is get a 7770 or a 7790, without a dedicated GPU games are generally going to be unplayable.

I hadn't seen his reply, I wasn't suggesting that he sell it at all, unless he could get a refund which I doubt, integrated won't give him good performance at all though.

The new 650 TI boost might be worth a look, you'll have to invest $15 more though.
It'll keep you going until you have enough for a better card.
