geforce gt 420

[henryKT12]

are amd fx 4100 with nvidia geforce gt 420 good for gamng

They aren't good enough for gaming. Infact, You'd be hard pressed to play some new games (like BF4) on low-med settings without suffering lag.
The GPU was released in 2010 which says that its an old card that needs replacing.
I'd recommend you getting the AMD FX8320 and the GTX 760 or the GTX 750ti.

No. The FX x1xx series were not good gaming cpu's and the Gt 420 is not going to do very well either.

that gpu wasnt meant for gaming when it was new.

 

[henryKT12]

fx4100 can handle hd 7850 ?

 

[daswilhelm]

a 4100 can handle a 7850, but if you havent purchased that cpu yet, i would recommend at least a 4300, if not a 6300 if you can afford it.
