These specs good enough?

[DotFifty89]

INTEL IVYBRIDGE QUAD CORE 3450 3.1 GHZ CPU
ATI RADEON 5450 HD 1GB
8gb ram

Is this good enough for some BF3 and CoD?

1) What's the rest of the build
2) No

The processor and the RAM is fine (assuming DDR3 1333/1600hz or better). The GPU however is not. Not even for naff settings. What resolution and what settings do you intend to play BF3 on, and what FPS average are you after?

I think the actual IGP in the CPU is better than a 5450.

If you are on a tight budget, have you considered Llano? the IGP in those chips is actually decent.

If you're on a tight budget i'd recommend a low end chip such as:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Sapphire HD 7750 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £83.99
Total : £92.69 (includes shipping : £7.25).



It won't give you a great deal of eye candy, but it'll suffice.

I would recommend a 7770 at least for this setup. 7750 can do good too if yu're on a tight budget.

For CoD the 7750 is more than enough. It's BF3 that's the trouble. If you've a bit extra cash a 7850 is worth looking at.
