How is this build

[oooen1gmaooo]

I want to get all this before Final Fantasy XIV comes out, how do you think it will do on the benchmark? Anything i need to change?
Sparkle Geforce GT 240 - 1gb ddr5
4gb memory
MSI 770-G45 motherboard
AMD athlon II X3
600 Watt PSU
I all ready have a 250gb Hard Drive, and DVD/CD Drive...I will play this on my 42" Plasma 720p, and either a 720p or 1080p monitor not sure yet...

^ GT240 is a not a good choice for gaming...
At that price segment, the HD 5670 would be a better option...

What PSU and you don't need 600 watts. If the budget is tight get only 2G of RAM for now and a better video card.

 

[oooen1gmaooo]

So this would be better

The HD5770 is better.

HD 5770 is ~about 80% faster...
