what sort of games could the above specs run and at what graphics settings ? can anyone else come up with a good gaming pc build for me as i dont really have a clue about parts ! so please help guys

For your resolution, that build is too powerful, but it will max any game at 60fps with all settings turned up.

can you or someone else create a parts list please that will work with my resolution ?

Just change the GPU to a Radeon 6670 and you can still play those games on great quality settings.

i would atleast like to be able to run most games on high settings is there any way possible within my budget and with my resoluion to do that ? and do i not need a cpu cooler or sound card ?

would this setup be ok ?

DOes anyone know if the above set up is good ?

Do you plan on upgrading your monitor?

If so, then my build would prove to be useful. With my build at your resolution, you shouldn't have any problem at playing on ultra settings at a comfortable fps.

Here's a youtube video benchmarking the hd 6870 @1360x768.

In games like Crysis, he's frequently dipping in the 30 fps range. You can watch the rest of the vid for yourself. I don't have the time at the moment.

Hope this helps.  

i dont plan on upgrading sorry please someone help ?

Forgot to post the youtube video. Sorry, I was in a hurry.

Here's the video...
