about playing games

[karthik kaushal]

I am getting a PC with the following configuration :
Amd a8 6600k,gigabyte ga
f2a55m ,Gskill 4Gb X 1 Ddr3 1333Mhz Cl9 Ram.
Will I be able to play games like
Cod ghosts ,bf4,AC black flag?

look at these bench marks it will give you an idea on the performance you will get

you should be able to play on the very lowest settings but you would also need more ram for ghosts there is a 6gb minimum requirement and i heard it wont let you play unless you have that

 

[karthik kaushal]

What will I need to change or add to play in medium settings (its a budget PC)?

 

[Beezy]

you really would need a new processor + graphics card combo...the RAM will only help so much, in terms of *what* games you can play, not as much *how* well they'll play.

*There's a MAJOR PROBLEM with that PC.

The GPU (in the APU) requires fast DDR3 memory (i.e. 2133MHz CAS9) or it will be severely throttled. It's pretty linear so you're likely losing at least 40% of the gaming performance by using 1333MHz memory.

It's even WORSE by using a single stick so you could be under HALF the expected performance.

If it's a pre-built then there's nothing you can except to add another identical 4GB stick to help the bandwidth issue.

*If you are NOT committed to that machine then building with an inexpensive $80 to $100 AMD CPU and get an HD7750 or better graphics card would be a much better way IMO.

Other:
As per the comment ABOVE, I agree. AC4 and COD Ghosts are very demanding games and I don't think you'd enjoy playing them on that PC.

Probably not an option but PS4 would be far, far better than the APU system you mention, but my advice is BUILD at pcpartpicker for $600 to $700 if possible.

Is it done if I install a 4gb 2133mhz memory ?

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

you cant mix memory speeds. for memory you either have to match the stick you have with another identical stick
or get 2x4gb 2133 ram

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

do you already own this pc?

 

[karthik kaushal]

Not yet got this PC.
I am not telling that I will add another 4gb 2133mhz memory, I will change to 2133mhz version from 1333mhz version .

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

you cant mix a stick of 1333 and 2133 it will cause system instability and you must run in dual channel like photon boy said. 2x2gb or 2x4gb
if you run only 1 stick you will have a big performance hit
and i would see if i could get a different setup for your money

 

[karthik kaushal]

Then please suggest me a different setup for the same budget .

 

[Bad_Kitty13]

what is your budget? and what components do you need? and where you from?

 

[karthik kaushal]

I need a CPU(I prefer apu),suitable mobo and a graphic card if needed (Dont mind playing in medium or low settings) .make the cost as low as possible
I live in India .

you have to give some kind of ball park est
