I plan on upgrading my rather low-end Windows XP to a mid-range build.
I'm going from:
Pentium 4 Dual-Core 3.20 GHZ
1 GB RAM
integrated graphics
to:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40 Ghz
4 GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 ASUS
I need to know how well the upgraded one will run games. I don't play heavy AAAs, Just smaller games, such as:
Source engine games (Team Fortress 2, Portal, Half-Life 2)
Minecraft
Elder Scrolls (Morrowind and Oblivion)
Civilization V
Among other games. How well will it run?
P.S. Don't ask about replacing the OS-XP is my favorite OS ever, and can run some MS-DOS games without an emulator.
