do i need to replace STOCK parts in order to play games?

[tofulover3]

I have a Asus Pentium. I made a mistake by buying this but i want to make the best of it. meaning i will be replacing parts with new specs for gaming.

SPECS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883220323R

I am fully customizing all parts Necessary for gaming.

the PC has stock 8gb ram memory and I was wonder will that be enough to run on ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX MOBO & I5-3570K CPU?

What inside a pc can i keep as stock items such as case, ram, HDD, Windows 7, optical drive, power suppply??? what should i keep or replace? what should i add? i am on the average budget( $200 a part), BUT i want to save by keeping STOCK parts

please help me. thanks in the advance

The only thing you'll have to replace in order to do some decent gaming is, the motherboard and processor which you mentioned, and power supply. The case, ram, hdd, optical drive should all move over fine


You'll want to purchase a video card in order to do any decent gaming. The board you mentioned, cpu you mentioned and a power supply (dependent on the GPU you purchase) will be all that has to change.

EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST 2GB 450w is the one graphics i am planning to get.

what power supply should i get?

then my build should be completed by adding a new mobo, cpu, power supply, and graphics card with the rest which stays in the pc?

From pretty much the best brand in power supplies, not much more expensive.


Yes once you add those things you should have everything you need in order to have a very solid system.
