At this time I'm in the early stages of building my first PC. With that said, as you can imagine, I could use some advice.
I'm hoping to build a budget gaming PC ($600-$700) that can handle running games like Shogun Total War 2 and Diablo 3 at near max settings (or better) with a smooth frame rate. In addtion it'll become my main PC where I'll do everything you could think of on it except for rendering or editing videos/programs.
Since this is primarily a gaming PC I invested more into the video card, purchased an HIS Radeon HD 7770, and bought a cheaper processor. The processor I bought (for $80) is an AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition.
Is this a powerful enough processor for my needs? Or should I pony up and invest in a better processor?
Thanks a bunch for taking the time to read this and if you have any suggestions on anything regarding my plan please let me know. Like I said, I'm new to this.
