Well... the guy who made the guide is a greek afterall
The guide is easy to follow anyway.

You don't have a very powerful PC so don't expect full speed everywhere. (should try speedhacks or native res tho)

Tales of Legendia needs a (Software) renderer in GSdx to work correctly.
Xenosaga I is very CPU intensive on some scenes and when using A.G.W.S, not much to do about it.
Grandia Xtreme needs an older GSdx plugin to work, something like 0.1.7 or 0.1.4 should work: http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-GSdx

a 6770 isn't even a 6th generation Radeon HD part.

you should try to keep 8-bit texture off.
