My specs

CPU:AMD FX 6300 CPU BLACK EDITION
GPU:SAPPHIRE 7850 2GB DDR5 OC EDITION
RAM:16GB CORSAIR XMS3 DDR3
MOTHERBOARD:ASROCK N68C-GS FX
HARDRIVE:WESTERN DIGITAL 1TB HARDRIVE
DVD DRIVE:STANDARD SAMSUNG DVD PLAYER
 
Bear in mind that you've asked overclockers. If you pick a different forum, you can probably find someone to tell you it's high end. Xtreme systems might openly laugh at the question.

The main problems are using amd instead of intel and a hard drive instead of an ssd. It seems there's a risk that you've bought it as a complete unit from somewhere - what power supply does it have? If it has cit or ez-cool written on it then the box is low end with a risk of fire.

No,i built it my self with a cooler master 750w psu and i am on a buget so i cant afford intel and a ssd
 
In the grand scheme of things it is pretty low-medium when you consider some pople with have an ivybridge E clocked at god knows how high and 4x titans in sli :p

In the real world, it is half decent. Depends on what its primary use is i suppose.

I have an i5 2500k @ 4.4 ghz, 16gb ram and a GTX 670 but i only consider my rig "medium" or average in terms of gaming.
 
Anything that will play most games well at 1080p at medium to high settings is a medium spec gaming PC. All the rest is down to what people consider good or bad.
 
Does it really matter what 'class' it is?

If it does what YOU want it to, then it's good enough :-)

My machine is by no means the best on the planet, but it does what I want, plays the games I want on high settings and gives me no grief.

Job done.
 
As a gaming pc I consider that medium-high (probably more towards medium). Since I feel that system could handle pretty much anything you throw at it on high at 1080p 30fps+. Enthusiast level is 1440p/1600p so requires a stronger card. In terms of raw power it's probably a medium level pc (ssd's are overated).
 
You should have stuck with 8gb RAM and a 500w PSU instead, and used that money to push it to an i5 :p.

But otherwise it's a decent rig for gaming. I'm a bit worried about the motherboard though, so I wouldn't attempt to overclock the CPU with it.

Agree to both.

It is better than "half decent", it should be compared to single GPU rigs or even SLI, rather than enthusiast Quad SLI etc.

It will play most modern at high settings.
