Decent gaming rig?

[roaddoc326]

My boss asked me to help him find parts for around $700 that could make a good gaming rig for newer games. I know this list is more but I am selling him my video card for $100. Does this look like a good setup for newer games..keep in mind, he is running on lower resolution probably around 1366x768

that depends what is ur video card

Sorry must have forgot to add it. It's a GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores

i guess its not to bad then.

i would go a little cheaper though if its just a 560 Ti since the res is not that high

also try to make it lower and try adding an SSD. $10 more for 1TB is a pretty good deal


Even going AMD is a pretty good choice.
