I am currently using a low spec PC which I had for quite some time. Recently I've been wanting to get into PC gaming so I thought an upgrade was in order.

My current specs are:
-Intel i3 2120 3.3ghz 4cores
-AMD Radeon HD 6450
-2x2gb of ram I bought a long time ago. Not sure if it's even branded.

As you can see this is a really low spec PC.

I was looking to upgrade to:
-Intel i3 2120 3.3ghz 4cores
-Sapphire R7 260x 2gb
-8gb 1600mhz corsair ram
Also my monitor is 1920x1080 but I'm happy playing games at lower resolution if it means I can get better performance out of it.

Right now I haven't got the cash to go and upgrade my CPU but it seems good enough as far as reviews and prices tell me.

I would like to know is if I was to upgrade to that would I be able to play games such as
Arma 3
COD Ghosts/Black ops 2
and possibly even Battlefield 3/4
If so what kinda settings in game would I be looking at with still 50-60fps?

Thanks.

That is a good setup, but as soon as u get the chance, upgrade the CPU to an i5.

Yes, you will be able to run most games at medium at 50-60 fps.

And yes, you will be able to run the games you listed easily.

I would recommend you lower the resolution for demanding games to 1680x1050 or 1600x900.


Happy gaming.

Thank you very much :) I wasn't sure if that setup was good enough for my games listed but now I know I can go and order it and thanks for the i5 upgrade idea. Definatly will look into one.
