Don't know what games you already have, but here you go:

Skyrim
Oblivion
Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas
Mass Effect 1&2
Rome I Total War+Alexander
Shogun 2 Total War
Medieval II Total War+Kingdoms
Empire Total War
Napoleon Total War
Age of Mythology
Age of Empires II
Age of Empires
GTA IV & V
ACIV Black Flag
AC Rogue
Titan Quest
Torchlight II
Rainbow Six 3 Raven Shield
Rainbow Six Vegas
Rainbow Six Vegas 2
Left for Dead 2
Killing Floor

Keep in mind that for some like Rome II and GTA V you will be playing on reduced settings. I'd recommend adding another 4GB of RAM if you can just to be safe and more flexible, Watchdogs is a great game as well, but requires 6GB of RAM. Fallout 4 requires 8GB of RAM.

I have played the mass effect games. I was thinking of buying black flag but am confused because of uplay. Would I be able to run GTA V? And what do you think of Deus Ex: HR ?

I dont think i would be able to run fallout 4 though.

chimera201 · Dec 1, 2015

You won't be able to play some of the latest AAA titles

You will with 8GB of RAM, the game itself is built on the creation engine that was used for Skyrim, so at lower settings it will be playable with 8GB of RAM.

Here's a video of a guy running GTA V on lower settings with an i3 and 7770 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-sdKAy2gLo

Don't worry about uplay, you just buy the game in steam, install uplay and uplay will launch everytime you tell steam to launch the game, it's just an extra step due to the two launchers. Black Flag is a lot of fun.

Your 7770 should be pretty much like a 250X so you can look here to get an idea of performance on some games: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-r7-250x-graphics-card-review,3747-3.html. Keep in mind your fps should be higher here since you are playing at a lower resolution.

Also if you like stuff like Battlefield 4, my buddy plays it on medium settings on a 250X and a dual core with 8GB of RAM @1080p, but I think you get that via EA's Origin app.

chimera201 · Dec 1, 2015

Shantanu Ghose :

Shantanu Ghose · Dec 30, 2015

GTA V? Alien Isolation?

chimera201 · Dec 30, 2015

Shantanu Ghose :

You can see well explained benchmarks of said games on the internet. You don't have to ask for each game.

chimera201 :

Oh okay. Thanks.

Just one thing I wanted to ask. I want to buy Black Flag and Far Cry 4. But I am seeing many reviewers facing issues with uplday,especially with Black Flag. What do you suggest?

chimera201 · Dec 31, 2015

Shantanu Ghose :

If u like those games, there is no other option than installing uplay. You can buy it from Steam and download from Steam but u still need uPlay to launch it.
