i'm sorry if this isn't in the right spot.
I'm eager for my first pc build i'm putting together soon, and was wondering how well this pc will fare against modern games(everythings bought already, cant change it). If there is a site that can do this, would be greatly appreciated if linked.
Also, it would be in 1080p because thats what the monitor is. i'd prefer not to turn that down :p

I've had this CPU before, good for the money but it will not perform as well in CPU Bound games , such as Skyrim and AC4 but it will play them.
Skyrim, highish, but your CPU will be holding you back. I see you've bought some thermal compound, do you have an aftermarket CPU cooler? If so, you can push it 4.4Ghz that could potentially help Skyrim. BF3, High Presets. I'm not sure what other games but in BF4 probably Medium Presets, maybe turn a few things turned onto high.
