No. Not at all. At $550, you get a lot more. The CPU is BAD.

will this run games like skyrim and Battlefield 3 on high settings?

okcnaline · Oct 1, 2014

Not on high. For this price range, you have no guarantees for high.

Alexdiaz · Oct 1, 2014

Get an FX 6300 instead of the 4100, it's 2 more views for just a few more dollars. I would reccomend going to with GTX 760 instead of the 660. It's a newer card with better technology.

I looked on the GTX 660 and it looks like it can run skyrim on high at 60 fps. And what about a good motherboard.

JoeWeezy97 · Oct 1, 2014

Im only really thinking that the motherboard needs to be changed.
