I5 2300 any good for gaming?

[troy1991]

Been looking to get a new pc. Kind of tight on money and found a decent price one that came with a i5 2300. Would it have the power to push skyrim on ultra 1920x1080? I know that my video card has the power.

Well which video card do you have? The i5 will fullfill most people, however many go with the i5-2500k.

Most people recommend the i5-2500k because of it's overclocking abilities. However, if you are tight on money and cannot buy that CPU and a P67 chipset motherboard, then the i5-2300 will be fine.

yes i5 2300 is good for any thing ... i have i5 2500k and i am very happy with its performance and i5 2300 with a good gpu like gtx 560 then you will be able to play any game on 1080p with ultra
