Cyaneus · Jan 25, 2014

Hello, just a quick question, I'm on a budget and I found this barebones kit bundle and was wondering if this would be any good for gaming. This would be my first build. Thanks a lot!

Here is the part list. I tried my best to organize it from the jumbled mess it was in before.

Motherboard:
Gigabyte AMD AM3+ GA-970A-DS3P

Video Card:
Sapphire Radeon HD 5450 100292DDR3L

Power Supply:
Kingwin ABT-650MM Maximum Series ATX Power Supply - 650W

Case:
Cougar Solution Black Steel Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - 1x120mm Cougar Turbine

Fan:
Hyper-Spin Bearing Fan, USB 3.0 port, Water Cooling Ready, Supports 320mm Long VGA Card

Ram:
ADATA XPG V1 4GB Desktop Memory Module- DDR3 1600, PC3-12800, Blue - AX3U1600C4G11-SD (x2)

EDIT: I'm terribly sorry if I posted in the wrong forum.

Thanks for the part list. What games could this run smoothly?

ScrewySqrl · Jan 25, 2014

it should run most anything out today at high. older games at ultra. Stuff like BF4 might need to be medium-high
