Hello guys,

Before I start here is my current CPU:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Motherboard - MSI FM2-A55M-E33 (Upgrading to ASRock AR-FM2A85X Extreme4 by August)

Processor - AMD Trinity A10-5800K 3.8 GHZ (No intentions of overclocking)

RAM - Crucial Ballistix Elite 8GB 2x4GB DDR3-1866 CL9

Video Card - HIS HD 6670 1GB GDDR5 (No intentions of overclocking)

PSU - Corsair VX450W
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am about to get some games. They are Crysis 3, Metal Gear Rising, Metro 2033: Last Light and possibly Guild Wars 2. Can I play these games at least at Medium-High settings on 720p? I want to cross out the ones I can't. Medium settings is fine as long as I get a minimum of 50 FPS.

Thanks in advance guys :)

Not sure of High , but medium , yeah medium is 100% possible on 30FPS+. Just one note , that you may not be able to do so on Crysis 3 and Last Light , maybe you will need a better card for 50FPS+ Also Dual Graphics has micro stuttering issues , so i suggest to retain your motherboard and sell the GPU and try for something like a GTX 650Ti at least. My recommendation is a GTX 660 though.

Appreciate the fast response guys.

Medium is fine with me. As long as its smooth. Right now, I can't do much of an upgrade cause of school. And also I will be passing this down to my younger brother by December (Christmas Gift) so I guess I might just save the extra money cause I am getting a new higher-end CPU by January. So I will just cross out Crysis 3 and Metro 2033: Last Light from the list then.

Thank you guys for the helpful advice's. Saved me time and money :)
 


No problem. Great that your queries got solved quickly. Just make sure you have a good enough PSU to handle the GPU , you can check out my guide for tips on choosing one. Thanks for posting and the Best Answer. Have a nice day.

Thanks again. Yeah it is. Currently with my rig, The PSU is doing great despite being a bit old (Corsair VX450W). I sure will check it out cause I'm going to need every info when I build my next CPU (Med - High End) hopefully by January of 2014. Have a good one as well to you guys.
 


Good luck and yeah , I thought that you didn't have the PSU , were planning to have. I hope you build a newer one soon , and if you ever need help , feel free to PM me. I would recommend to post on the forums though , since you will get a lot of other suggestions too. Also if you want to , please tell me the FPS you get on these games. This will help me a lot. You can use Fraps to measure FPS. Also Thanks for posting and Have a Nice Day :)
