can a i7 2600 still game?

[Wing-Man]

I'm talking for kids, so i know it can do roblox and stuff like that because a calculator can...
but with the right GPU say a RX570 can it game like fortnight and stuff like that

im not talking about cod and battlefield just lighter end game.

i have the CPU and a motherboard, thats why am asking about this chip..
My friends sister got her 8yo an EBAY gameing PC... and it a VERY old AMD APU but it dose have 16gb of DDR3 1600mhz that i can throw in my motherboard if it worth doing

Cex had a 570 in when i was passing on the 23rd for £85 so i'm going to nip tomorrow and see if they still have it.

like i say its just for a lad who wants to play fortnight, so i will be giving it to her.
just wanted to be 100% if could still game.

thanks for the help guys

@Alexrose1uk
Thats a massive poiless post as i asked about a i7 2600... and your didn't stop talking about a i7 2700k...

Again talking about things that have nothing to do with this thread

Your cant overclock sand Bridge with base clock.

Heck of an attitude on you my dude. Realise that it's a real person, typing away for no other reason than to assist you. If they're mistaken they're mistaken, but that sort of impolite reply and laughing reaction (especially in duplicate) is going to make people that would otherwise advise you well shake their heads and spend their time elsewhere.

he didnt read the thread, i got a 1000 word replay about how the 2700k can be overclocked so will be fine but i be better asking my family for money to buy a 6/7/8/9 gen intel..
TBF that is a pointless replay you cant argue that even he admitted that

in the second post it was a little more relevant but then told me i can base clock overclock a sand bridge CPU, and that is true if i want to destroy the GPU, SSD and Motherboard.
Again TBF that is a pointless and dangerous replay, what if i did go and crank the base clock then killed that system

I pocked up the 570 and will be heading over to build tomorrow. Thanks for the info guy

Will be a massive upgrade Iver the fm2 apu that was in the system.

Something as to be done about the ebay gaming systems that are just reboxed office system... I seen one for 450 when you look at specs it's a dell that can be had for £60 of ebay but in a new case.
I feel things like this poison pc gaming for many
