AMD Radeon HD 7850M / i7-2700K

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of HD 7850M is simply ridiculous. With current 2048 MB RAM, the HD 7850M can have serious memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games. This combination between HD 7850M and Intel Core i7-2700K @ 3.50GHz has less than 8% bottleneck in many games and is perfect match to avoid FPS loss. This combination between HD 7850M and Intel Core i7-2700K @ 3.50GHz is a perfect match to avoid FPS loss. With current 2048 MB RAM, the HD 7850M can have very few memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games.
