I5 gaming pc in 2018

[sama1921]

i don't know much about processor or generations and stuff. I just bought a rig for games and it's specs are: i5 3330, 8gb ddr3 ram @1600mhz, 2tb harddrive, GTX 1050ti with psu of 500W. whoever i tell says i wasted my money and that i should've gone for an i5 3470 or higher. i wanted to ask that will this rig be able to handle some of the newer games? thank you

Well besides the GPU it is a older gen i5 but it should be able to play most games at 1080P on medium-ish settings.

Thank you for the reply. my friend told me to get a i5 3rd gen and me not knowing much about processor bought this one for my pc

The cpu is 6 years old. But I agree it should handle most games.

Did you already have the mobo and ram? That's would likely be why he said that. If you bought a newer cpu you would have to replace those.
