Will my pc play new games

[LJK_hunter]

I am looking at buying parts for my computer and i was wondering if it will be powerful enough to handle games like skyrim, Metro 2033,etc

Mobo: Biostar TA970
Processor: AMD FX8320
Graphics: Nvidia GTX 550 Ti
RAM: 8GB crucial ballistix tactical
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
PSU: OCZ ModXStreame pro 600W

THanks for any help

Whats your budget? The build seems a little unbalanced... a 550 ti is great for say,a $400 build. But i think we could fit better in there.

Try switch that cpu out for a 6300, plenty for games. the toshiba 1tb drive is only $65 at the momment. Get the Antec Neo Eco 620 for $30... 600 watts is overkill but right now its cheaper than the lower wattage, lower quality psu's s its a great deal!! its also made by SeaSonic so you are getting top quality.

should do the trick mate

 

[LJK_hunter]

im not saying that what you have listed is bad but all the parts that i have listed only total to about £320

 

[iceclock]

just saying the cpu u took is less good, bad mobo.

mediocre ps, mediocre videocard, u can take ur build but its not quality based.

 

[blake1243]

Yeah but the 550 ti is terrible no offense. The 7850 wipes the floor with it. Literally the 7850 is 75% faster.

[LJK_hunter]

if i do decide to go with what i listed will it actually be able to play new games?

 

[iceclock]

that cpu is outdated and is part of the old bulldozer cpu design, not efficient.

u should go with what i recommanded, anything less gonna cut into quality and have less durability or performance.

 

[LJK_hunter]

i wasnt asking for suggestions on how to improve my system i was just asking if it will run games

 

[iceclock]

oh right, sorry misunder-stood, talt it was something u was gonna buy. not built

well the parts u listed are alright besides the mobo+videocard.

what i listed will get u better performance for ur budget. the 550ti is a lowend card, and the biostar mobo is bad.
