Hi all, I'm looking at a PC that's for sale the price is £330 however since I've been out of the PC building a while now I'm unsure if this PC Will handle games on high/Ultra on a 1920x1080 Monitor. It's built desktop with the current specifications:

NEW 3ghz AMD X4 640 QUAD CORE PROCESSOR

ZOTAC GTX 650 GRAPHICS CARD 1GB VRAM

300GB STANDARD HARD DRIVE

8GB CRUCIAL BALLISTIX SPORT 1333mhz

Corsair 650W PSU

MOTHERBOARD: 760gm-P21 FX

WINDOW 7 ULTIMATE 64BIT
 
no for a guess without knowing the games that's is, for a guess then i'd say for most of the latest games maybe low to medium settings depending on the resolution used etc

but very few on high and next to none on ultra, you'd need to spend a lot more on your parts to get that, don't be fooled by sales talk.

if you turn off most stuff in most modern games it would work, but you wouldn't be looking at it's best or even then get very high fps either.

is that all you get and no other parts / peripherals etc?

you already got kb and mouse and monitor and that's your max budget?

If you take out the g/card and up the RAM to 1866/2133, not only would it be cheaper, but if he did eventually use hybrid x/fire, the RAM wouldn't be a limiting factor.
