Alright so I was ignorant and did not buy my PC parts seperate so I had bought an HP Envy. I am now buying parts to replace the crappy ones and the video card was integrated so I need to buy new video card and mobo :/. Also since I'm getting a new video card, I will upgrade the PSU but I don't know if the case will fit that. I have the case the HP shipped along with the PC. I got the parts listed below. Oh yeah and it had win 8 automatically installed so I have to get WIN 7.

He may of not known that you can even build your own computer at the time. Link the computer OP so we can help. But here is my opinion on the parts you posted.

- The 750w psuis overkill, you don't need that for a 7870. A 500w psu is more than sufficient.

- A 7870 ghz isn't worth it, get a 7870 xt/le. The 7870xt/le is basically a 7890/7930 and outperforms a 7870 ghz.

Ok I am definitely reconsidering my 7870 choice and going with yours. Here is the link to the parts that came along w/ the PC. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Sorry, I couldn't find the case. :/
