Computer specs for demanding games

[Fjallizz]

I am about to purchase a budget PC but hoping for it to be able to handle future games on medium-high settings at 30+ fps, I was just wondering if these specs would handle that:

Raidmax RX-450K 450W ATX Power Supply
Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P AM3+ (no video)
AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.2GHz Turbo Eight-Core
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 CPU Cooler
8GB(1x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz
Crucial M4 128GB SATA III Solid State Drive
500GB 7200Rpm SATA Hard Drive
DVD +/- RW DVD Burner / DVD Reader Drive
Radeon HD 7950 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0
Asus PCI 150Mbps Wireless N Adapter

Hi,

biggest problem is the power supply, to run a good GPU, you need at least a quality 500-600 w psu,
Raidmax RX-450K 450W ATX Power Supply ==> is junk and won't be able to handle the computer

For the hard drive, get a western digital black, the 500 GB are cheap and 5 year warranty on them.

If you plan on gaming I suggest playing wired over wireless because you will get worse latency wireless.

Instead of the Radeon HD 7950 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 , get the Radeon R9 280X 3GB, their are about the same price and are up to date GPU. More efficient and a bit less electricity.

The last thing is check to see if you can get same price memory but at lower cl (7- 8 if possible)

Lol dude.. listen to the poster above...

All his points make sense...

...How the hell can someone think about running a 7950 on 450w junk PSU...

Yeah I figured the power supply was a problem, but do you think these specs could handle most modern games, with your advice?

on a 2560p monitor no.

hell evem crysis 3 lags to 29 fps on 2560p monitor

on a 1080p monitor you would be okay for a year or so maybe even 2
