Hello, I'm customizing a gaming PC from an Australian website, techbuy.com.au. Here are the specs.

Antec Three Hundred Two Midi-Tower Case

OCZ 650W ZT Series powersupply

ASUS P8Z77-V LK Motherboard

Core i5 3570K Quad Core cpu

8GB RAM

EVGA GeForce GTX660 - 2GB GDDR5 superclocked edition. Graphics Card

Windows 7 64-bit Home Preimum.

Is the PC any good? Would i be able to play games such as Borderlands 2, Battlefield 3 and Far Cry 3 on very high setting? Any recommendations, Alternatives, suggestions.
Thank you.

This configuration will satisfy the typical gamer who runs a 1080p monitor. Currently there's no game that needs a better video card unless you're running 2650x1600 or multi-monitor.

Techbuy are expensive, but have really good customer service, and know what they're talking about. I bought a couple of things, listed in stock, but really weren't. Simple phone call to cancel order and had my money back in less than an hour. But they are expensive.

also the ZT series from OCZ are terrible, there are alot of fan complaints because it sounds like a jet engine as soon as any proper load is put on it.

I would also get a CPU cooler like a 212 evo. And yes, you would run those games quite well.

I liked PCCaseGear until they removed being able to pay by paypal. Paypal is so much easier to use.
