- Is this a prebuilt machine, or are you selecting parts to build your own?
- If you are building your own, what site and what is your budget?
- If its a pre-built site, but you have options on parts, what site?
- That system should run those games pretty well as they are not overly demanding. Depending on the resolution of your monitor, it would vary in performance.

I would spend the extra couple of $ and get the K version (3570K), otherwise you will regret not getting it later.

^ he would only regret it if he has any intention to overclock. Otherwise, at stock there is no need.

Its from a site where they build it for you but you can select the parts, Its £689

That build would play those games decently well. I assume you are working with a budget and this is within that cost. One thing for a gaming PC you may consider is getting a lower end i5 or even an i3 and beefing up your video card a little bit considering that is the major determining factor in how your games perform.

Do you have a site link we could tinker around on?
