what resolution? at 1080 no.

Outlander_04 · Mar 29, 2013

depends on the resolution of your monitor

Personally Id swap out the 7850 for a 1 gig model and use the money saves to upgrade the motherboard to a model with a 970 series chip set . You wont lose any noticeable gaming performance , but you will get a motherboard with better features and a potentially longer life

Hi

Graphics card too weak for Ultra... medium to high maybe.... or add another $200 for a better card...

All the best Brett

I would also up the memory from 1333 to 1600.

You can play the games in ultra in 1080p you just need to lower some settings.
Pretty good build though.
For some $ more you can get this

Its noticable faster.

And also better buy 1600mhz sticks

Buy the 1 tb hdd. Its only few bucks more

Im thinking your video card will run fine at ultra
I built my pc
AMD 8150 3.6 ghz 8 Core
Evga GTX 650 1Gb
8 gb G.skill sniper 1600mhz

My video card cost me 115 and I am able to run Battlefield 3 @ 1920x1280 on ultra everything maxed out
I get average 28-36 Fps and the game laggs very little

with that video card I think it will run alot better than my 650
