With an i5 2500k and a gtx 560ti 448 core, will I be able to play games like Mass Effect 3, Skyrim, SWTOR, and others at max settings with an fps at 45+?
It may be a dumb question, but im new to this stuff
Well, since you only want 45+ frames then you should be fine. I am like you, I don't care about the magic 60 FPS, all I need is above 30 and smooth gameplay.
Plus, Skyrim is more CPU intensive is some areas and your i5 should tear that apart.
