Can someone please spec me a gaming rig.
Main games being played will be
WoW
Diablo 3
Guildwars 3

OS, monitor, keyboard and mouse not needed.

Can anyone tell me also if i went for this spec would the onboard graphics be good enough to play the above games until i can order a HD 7850 in 4 weeks time

Ga-Z77-D3H
I5 3570k
8gb Ram

Thanks in advance
 
What im hoping to do is do the build in 2 parts. Get the basics now on a budget of £400-£500 or even cheaper if possible and the add the other things such as GPU etc in about 3-4 weeks time.
After a couple of weeks research i think im looking for i5 3570k and gpu wise a HD 7850.

Would the onboard graphics on the Z77 board and i5 3570K be good enough to play the above games untill i get round to ordering the GPU?
 
Also would the i5 3570K and HD 7850 be over kill for the games that are out at the minute or if i go for anything less will i end up having to upgrade it in the very near future?
 
The onboard graphics should be able to play those 3 games yes.

And no i would not call that overkill at all. The HD7850 is in some ways comparible to my GTX480 (better at some things, not quite so good at others, but comparible all the same) and i can max out battlefield 3 at 65fps, i can max out crysis at around 60fps (frames drop to 40 ish in places) with a slight overclock, and i can play Metro 2033 on high settings with a few setting on maximum with 45 - 50fps.

So i would say that a 7850 is just about right to keep up with today's games.
