Hi, just wondering if this system would give me decent specs for games such as:
World of warcraft
Starcraft 2
Skyrim all expansions
Battlefield 3
Call of dutys

I3-3220 3.30Ghz 3mb cache with hyper threading tech
6gb ram 1333mhz
1TB 7,200 rpm
1GB GTX 645

I have tried researching the hardware but not getting adequete info

The RAM is slow and in my personal opinion anyone who is looking to "game" on their PC with a discrete GPU should be looking at an 7850 or a GTX 650Ti boost it all depends on your budget really

Yer budget is only 600, this is the alienware x51 base model, im only interested in that though because its pretty much console size, not allowed a full sized pc in the living room... other halfs rules

I can upgrade the ram at a later date, but I wont be able to upgrade the gpu

Mini ITX? like the BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Cube Case?

Yer seen them still to wide, the x51 can fit nicely in the required space. I was just wondering what sort of frames I would be getting with the spec I posted

I'm pretty sure the X51 uses a laptop graphics card, so unfortunately you'd be looking at a rather large performance drop compared to desktop parts.

How about a build in the FT03 (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-074-SV&groupid=2362&catid=1092) or if you're really pushing for space, the FT03 Mini? (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-237-SV&groupid=2362&catid=1092)

edit: found an example build in the FT03 Mini, food for thought: http://imgur.com/a/DZvlM
