hello, my system is

intel Q8300, 2.5 GHZ
biostar g41d3
3 gb ddr3 hyperx 1600 mhz
120 gb disk sata 2
kcas 600 watss 80 plus aerocool

a guy make me an offer for his gtx 480 for 70 bucks, i want to play crysis 3, mi monitor is 19 inch 1400 x900.



will i have botleneck?, thankyou.
 


You can have a gtx 670 for 70. It's not only much better but uses a LOT less power and runs A LOT cooler. Also that psu you have there is in no way going to handle a gtx 480 since it's really low quality.

Anyways a q8300 is not going to give you a good experience in crysis 3 and with only 3gb of ram you would be lucky to just have the game load up.

I would just save up for a new system or get a used second gen or up i5 dell tower from ebay and go from there.
 


Your whole pc is simple underspecced for the game. 30 fps and even a bit more would be doable sometimes but often it will be in the 20fps range. 3gb of ram is not enough to even launch the game and that psu can't handle a gtx 480 (which is terrible value for 70$) since it's low quality garbage and will give out or fry your system when asked too much from it.
 
 



even for 1024 x 768 ?

 


You simply do not have enough ram to launch the game. Your cpu is just good enough to make the game run somewhat stable and a gtx 650 is worse than a gtx 480.

You are asking your system to do something it simply cannot do the way it is now or with the upgrade.
 


ok men dont get angry , the system is in the garbage righ now, i will be in the dell store tomorrow for a intel core i3000 mother fucker edition
