Thanks. I think so too. I think if I had gotten a 79xx series card, the i3 would be the limiting factor. I think 7850 + i3 is a pretty good combo (one won't limit the other too much).

Intel's most powerful ULV operates at 17w, fyi. Maybe not quad core, but it's wayyy more powerful than the A8-4550m.
