Would my pc be able to handle it?Any suggestions would be appreciated...thanx in advance.also i am planning to get the gc with my relative from usa in feb...will there be any practical probs with running the gc in india?? thanx again...

Yes it will. I wouldn't suggest any GPU greater than a 650 gt or a 7770 HD for your PC.

While it may be possible to play the game with 2GB, I found that my PC ran smoother when I upgraded from 4 to 8 GB. Also, the Intel E5700 will not be able to fully support a 660 GTX. My Q9550 most likely wouldn't fully support a 660gtx. What GPU do you currently have?

In order to play multiplayer, you are going to at least need 4GB of system RAM. Your processor also is showing its age. Most of the games you have listed require a quad core PC for optimal performance, and Crysis 3 probably will not run above medium even at that resolution. While it may seem like a large investment, I recommend at least getting a Ivy Bridge/Haswell i3, even though it is dual core, it is much more suited to those games. While you're at it, grab any reliable 4GB RAM kit and the new motherboard to slide all those new shiny parts in. your power supply may or may not be enough for all of that, with haswell and 600 series I would say you are fine.

i am not planning to upgrade my cpu as of now but i dont play multiplayer. i m not planning to upgrade anything as of now except i might get a 2gb ram if very essential. i m fine with having to play at medium or high settings. do i really need to upgrade my ram as of now??

i presently have the inbuilt intel g33 chipset which is good for nothing...and will my cpu and ram bottleneck the gtx 660 too much??
