hello i am building a gaming PC and i have just realized that there is anlmost no difference in low vs ultra setting for me so i have decided i don't even need an 800 dollar PC so i have been looking for a 300-400 dollar PC. here is my parts list:

amd a10 5600k
Corsair Builder Series CX430
G. skill ripjaws X series 4GB
Cooler Master Elite 370
MSI FM2-A75MA-E35
not sure about HDD

so far its $327, and i am wondering will it run games for a few years at least on low settings? i am also considering getting an i3 3220 or a phenom II X4 965 and a msi radeon 7770 for about 100 bucks more. is it worth it? (yes i know i will have to change the motherboard)
thanks

Then save your money and go for the APU. You might look into the A10-5800K or 6800K for the better on-die GPU, though. I had an A10-5800K in an HTPC I built that ran BF3 at 720p fine on "Auto" settings. Auto produced a mix of mostly medium and some high settings.

Yes. And if you decide later that 'low' or 'med' isn't doing it for you anymore, you can always add a discrete card that is more powerful than the on-die GPU. The processor is pretty strong and can handle some pretty good discrete cards without bottlenecking.
