What Should I Expect From This PC? (Gaming Performance)

[Pankaikz]

My friend has an HP desktop that they bought a year or two ago. It's a decent computer, but it has integrated graphics. I haven't opened the side panel and don't remember the exact specs, so I'm not sure if it has 4 sticks of 3Gb or 3 sticks of 4Gb DDR3. Assume it has 4X3Gb@1600Mhz. We're going to put a GTX 960 in it and swap the PSU.

Specs:
i5-4440
12 Gb of DDR3
GTX 960
7200 RPM HDD

Using a 1080p@60Hz monitor.

Looking for estimated FPS/Graphic Settings for:
GTA Online
Arma 3 Multiplayer
Fallout 4

I've been up since yesterday. Forgive me for my bad grammar and/or anything that doesn't make sense. I read over it and I think I got everything.

Open the PC before you buy any parts, and make note of what you actually have.

As far as I know, there are no 3GB sized sticks of RAM, so you probably have 3x4GB (and aren't running in dual channel mode) or 2x2GB and 2x4GB. You could also be running 6x2GB, but I think tri-channel boards dies with Nehalem.

I'm not going to give you FPS estimates since I don't know them for sure. The 1060 review, when it comes out, will probably have some numbers you can compare against. Off the top of my head though, a 4400 and 960 should be decent for a 1080p gaming rig. Expect to run older games at very high or ultra and more modern games at medium to very high at reasonable frame rates (30-60fps). This is all based on the performance of my own old ass 770, which still runs modern games fairly well. I think the 960 is more powerful than my 770, not sure though, so take that with a grain of salt.

Thanks for the response. As I said, I was exhausted when I wrote that. My mistake on the RAM thing. Anyway, that pretty well answers my questions.

Thanks. again.
