Keep the hdd and odd with you and sell the other components. Go with the config suggested above

Thanks,can you please mention which sapphire model coz there are variations and do I need an i3 for performance of 7770 or will a g630,g645 do the work?And also I have the old cabinet with a single fan,Is it okay to keep it?

cabi is fine if it is in good condition.add 2 fans more for cooling

i3 is better than g645 due to advantage of hyperthreating as some games uses and for new games i3 is minimum

> Go for i3 3xxx.

> Old cabinet with a single fan may be okay in winters, but not good in summers. You can use it now but make upgrading the cabinet the first priority.
 
Hi,what value does brand name have in 7770 coz msi is available for 7.5k while sapphire is for 9k
Different companies make different coolers and modify the reference design for better performance. MSI was known to have over-voltaged (not sure if it still does) the cards which is not good. Sapphire has good coolers. I would suggest Sapphire.
