Not bad. I've got a 7770 1GB GDDR5 with that same CPU. I'm playing on my 42 inch 1080p TV with a resolution 1920 X 1080. 6GB DDR3. Works perfect. Going to go crossfire this year.

Most games run at ultra. With 2x AA. Have not tried a game they does not run with that.

That looks a lot like something I'm intending to build in the future.
You could use pcpartpicker.com (choose the appropriate location top-right corner of site).
When I built a similar PC using the site, I threw in an XFX 500w 80 Plus Bronze PSU and case really doesn't matter, choose a cheap one that fits your mobo (respectively if your mobo is Micro-ATX / Mid-ATX you can choose any case), I'd choose one that has 4 USB ports at the front, for convenience.

The cpu is great, but it's a tad old, but great for the price range. If u plan to OC it, go for the 955 one, it's way more OC-able than the 965.
The gpu is not bad, u can go for a 550 also if u are into PhysX and that kind of stuff, but 7770 offers more performance at the same price.
For the mobo, go for a AM3+ just in case you are going to make an upgrade in the future (don't worry AM3+ is backwards compatible with AM3 socket CPU such as the Phenom) thus u will leave some headroom for maybe a vishera cpu ( 8350 and 6300 are complete jewels ) , I suggest getting a Asrock 970 Pro3 with 970 chip set, it's not the best chipset but it's not bad either, it's in between.
Hope I helped.

Well, my unbiased opinion is that 8350 gaming wise runs on par with i7 3820k and 3770k +-5 frames. Thing is that the benchmarking sites are most of them bought off by Intel, believe it or not, so u'd be better off seeing real benchmarks and not synthetic ones.
8350 blasts I7 out of the water in multithreading/core applications such as photo and video editing.
Dunno about the 8150, but the 8350 can be OC'ed like a boss provided u have a good aftermarket cooler. 5ghz is seconds away with the right Mobo.

Hello. I want to build a PC, actually, i had plans for a mid/high common PC but i cant afford it. I want to get cheaper just getting the features i realy need.
I want to play at least in 1600x900, want a motherboard that can charge my iPad, i dont care about USB 3. I want a CPU that is a good partner with an HD 7700. And games on at least 25-45 fps with mid settings. I do not plan play recent AAA's. Maybe the titles that may pull the 7700 are Assassins Creed 1 & 2, Starcraft 2, Battlefield 3 on Min, Arkham City, Skyrim, Deus Ex HR, but nothing like Crysis or FarCry 3 or something like that.
So, what you suggest?
The current specs are
GPU: HD 7700 Sapphire Vapor X
CPU: Amd Phenom II X4 965 (from an i5 3750k)
HDD: 1 TB (from a 2 TB one)
Motherboard: ??? (from a Gigabyte Z77m)
Case: ??
Power Supply: ??
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 8Gb (single slot) 1600mhz
Thanks for your help!
PD. My budget its about MAX 300$ (wihout the RAM and Video card)
PD 2. Cant go with a better graphics card (i'd love to). Cant afford it.
