Hi, I'm looking for some advice on getting a prebuilt gaming pc. I know its cheaper to assemble yourself, but due to time constraints I've already made up my mind about purchasing a completed one. I'm buying from ibuypower, if that matters.

Was just wondering if this build would work for stuff like ESO and bioshock infinite?

Intel X79 Core i7 Configurator
1 x Case ( Apex EL 660 Gaming Case - Black )
0 x Case Lighting ( None )
0 x iBUYPOWER Labs - Noise Reduction ( None )
0 x iBUYPOWER Labs - Internal Expansion ( None )
1 x Processor ( Intel® Core™ i7 3820 Processor (4x 3.60GHz/10MB L3 Cache) - Intel Core i7 3820 )
0 x iBUYPOWER PowerDrive ( None )
1 x Processor Cooling ( Liquid CPU Cooling System [Intel] - Standard 120mm Fan )
1 x Memory ( 16 GB [4 GB X4] DDR3-1600 Memory Module - Corsair or Major Brand )
1 x Video Card ( NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 - 2GB - Single Card )
1 x Free Stuff ( [FREE Game Voucher] - Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist - Free with NVIDIA GeForce GTX660 or above Video Cards )
1 x Motherboard ( ASUS P9X79 Pro -- 4x PCI-E x16, 4x SATA 6Gb/s, 4x USB 3.0, On-Board Bluetooth )
1 x Power Supply ( 600 Watt - Standard )
1 x Primary Hard Drive ( 2 TB HARD DRIVE -- 64M Cache, 7200rpm, 6.0Gb/s - Single Drive )
0 x Data Hard Drive ( None )
1 x Optical Drive ( 24x Dual Format/Double Layer DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW Drive - Black )
0 x 2nd Optical Drive ( None )
0 x Flash Media Reader / Writer ( None )
0 x Meter Display ( None )
1 x Sound Card ( 3D Premium Surround Sound Onboard )
1 x Network Card ( Onboard LAN Network (Gb or 10/100) )


Thanks in advance.

The graphics card is what your mostly worried about, for gaming you could drop your cpu to an i5-3570k and then try an get a gtx 660ti/670. A 3570k is plenty enough for most gaming users, and gives you the opportunity for a stable 4.4/4.5GHz overclock.

That looks better. If you can opt for a modular Power supply; it will make your life easier in the future.
