Hi forum,

Are the following compontents a good configuration? (650 US dollar budget)

Asus M5A99X EVO Motherboard
Cooler Master B Series B600 power supply
Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.D 500GB SATAIII 32MB, 500GB SATA-600, 32MB, 7200rpm hard disk
Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 internal memory
Asus GT640-DCSL-2GD3 graphics card
AMD FX-4100 Black Edition processor
Cooler Master K350 case

Is this powerful enough to run games like Far Cry 3, Batllefield 3 or that kind of games on high resolution settings?
