This is the specs of the computer i am getting (On a budget) but i am using some 2nd hand products but I am aware that the graphics card is alright at gaming because i managed to play a wide array of games on ultra but is the rest of the specs capable of gaming?

 

Case: zalman z3 plus white

 

Mobo: Intel DX48BT2

 

CPU: either a intel dual core  E8400  (6M Cache, 3.00 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB) or a intel Quad Core Processor Q9550S 12M Cache, 2.83 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB) - Which ever CPU will be more better for gaming

 

RAM: 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM but may upgrade to 8GB

 

HDD: Seagate barracuda 7200.12 500GB x2

 

Power supply:  EVGA 500B 500W 80+ BRONZE PC Power Supply

 

Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce Plait  GTX 460.

You will probably want the q9550S out of the two, it's newer and quad core(comparison of the two: http://ark.intel.com/compare/33910,40815).

 

Though I'd say you should save up a bit if you got a tollerable machine and get a newer socket so you have a bit more room to upgrade later on, with the configuration you got there you are getting a machine that is 5+ years old essentially.

8GB RAM is the standard for now, and what is your budget? Maybe I could (if you didnt ordered it already) make a list for you!

It's pretty much a Christmas present and i think the case, PSU has already been ordered but the rest i already have, i was just wondering it it would cope but i am going to do various upgrades in the future months if i get money but thanks
