Is my Computer High end or mid range?

[cyclopsgd]

Is my computer high end or mid range? or maybe low end.

i see on website saying a game will run well on mid range or high end computers and i never really know what mine is:

Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Vengeance Memory

Seagate 1TB Barracuda Internal Hard Drive

Asus M5A97 R2.0 Socket AM3+ 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard

AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz Socket AM3+ 14MB Cache

MSI GeForce GTX 660Ti Power Edition OC


if there's one thing i know i should have done differentely is i should have gone with an intel processor to get a motherboard with PCI 3.0 support

Hi,

Your computer is not a high-end computer, so it falls to the category of "mid range".
Although your computer is mid-range the GPU and CPU will run plenty of games on high settings at respectable framerates (45+ atleast).
However, bear in mind that the whole "high end and mid range" talk is a bit subjective and people have different views on it. If you ask me, the whole talk is a bit childlish to a certain point, but it has its uses.
Hope this helps^^

As far as gaming is concerned it is upper mid range.

This computer should play all modern games at high settings at 1080p. It will not really max every game out there but they should run fine at high settings.

No, PCI 3.0 is not even useable. Not even a 780ti can fully use a 3.0 slot. Putting a modern card in a 2.0 slot does not result in any performance drop at all. Do not worry. You did not make a mistake at all.
