Can i run these games?
« on: February 13, 2013, 07:02:33 pm »
I'm thinking about buying a new PC but i don't know if this will run these games because i'm kinda stupid when it comes to PC specs.

• Intel® Core™ i7-3820 Quad Core
• 8GB PC12800 DDR3/1600mhz RAM
• AMD HD 7750 2GB Video
• Gigabyte X79 MB
• 1TB SATA-III Hard Drive
• Corsair Carbide 200R Gaming Case

Will this be able to run?:
Napoleon total war
Empire total war
Shogun 2 total war
Mount and blade warband: Napoleonic wars
planetside 2
lotr bfme 2
Ace of spades
Red orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad
Elder scrolls V: Skyrim
Elder scrolls IV: Oblivion
ARMA 2
Day-z

any other games you would suggest?

Btw: I found this on cyberpower so if it does not meet demand then i am able to customise it

Yes, you can run all of them with a good margin.

Yes, in fact I would go as far as to say you're overbuying. You don't need an i7 CPU for gaming, I would stick with an i5 2500k. You also don't need 8gb of ram - 4 to 6 GB should be fine.

Actually I would stick with the 8 gb ram, but the i7 isnt that much needed but for long term (3 years max) you will want it.

Dont spend the extra money on the i7 unless you plan to do some video editting or rendering. For gaming a top of the range i5 core is perfect.

Do you have a decent monitor already? It's not completely necessary, but I would recommend buying a new monitor to match the specs of your computer so that it doesn't bottleneck. Having a monitor with more than a 60hz refresh rate is optimal, although it's not the end of the world if the monitor only has 60z max.
