How will this build perform for very light gaming?

[Deleted member 940608]

I'm curious if this build will be able to play simple games, like Minecraft, League of Legends, and CoD 4.

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16 GHz

GPU: EVGA nVidia GeForce 9400 GT 1GB DDR2

RAM: 4GB 1333MHz DDR3

I'm thinking I should upgrade my GPU because it will bottleneck my gaming performance. Ant suggestions on if this will work, and if I should upgrade to a better card? What card?

Cheers

well im actually using a G540 Intel cpu with integrated graphics and i play league of legends all in Low at 720p with 60fps and in battles it goes down to 58fps. I have played Cod 4 with good fps too, and minecraft should run atleast a 40fps, i think this game its more cpu bounded.

Answer: Yes it will play those games at playable framerates but it will not max them.

Are you buying this pc? or do you already own it? if you could you should update to a 7750 from AMD or build a new pc and just re-use the psu,case,hdd.
