Mid Range Gaming PC Help!

Hello,


Can anyone tell me if this is a good mid-range gaming pc build. Keep in mind I spent a total of 600 bucks on this. I plan to do some gaming but not like intense gaming. On another note....is the i3 2100 sandy bridge processor a good gaming processor for the money?


Specs:

MOBO- asus p8p67
GPU- EVGA 1gb nvidia gtx 460
CPU- i3 2100 sandy bridge
HDD- 1tb 7200rpm Western Digital
Opt Drive- Asus 24x
Case- xion cyborg red LED
PSU- corsair cx500w v.2
Mem- 8gb ddr3 corsair

* I want to know in terms of games like cod black ops and guild wars 2....can this run at medium - high settings? (Yes i know the memory was overkill...but it was on sale) Thanks!

- i have a 2009m HP monitor at 1600 x 900 native resolution...if that matters. =D

Yes, that's a good setup for the price. ASRock, which is owned by ASUS, makes some good boards also. You might want to get one of theirs and put the extra $40-50 you save into an i5 2300/2400 if you can stretch it. That will give your hardware a good deal more longevity

I had an ASRock with my last build, and I have an ASRock P67 Extreme 4. Never had a prob with either

I guess OP has already bought the stuff.. Anyway, this looks like a really good mid range build.. And yes, the i3 2100 is excellent as a gaming processor.. Moreover, the platform enables you to upgrade to better processors if and when the need comes and you have the cash..

You should be fine.

However, next time you should ask questions before buying rather than asking questions after buying. That way you can avoid any potential issues before spending money.
