Well i am not sure which games you will be maxing out though i can tell you that PC is going to be something that can run everything at 1080P at high to ultra settings. That machine is what i would call Mid Range Gaming PC Build don't get me wrong it will burn through any game on the market, and will have plenty of room for expansion as well.

Have you ever played a triple-a title on a PS3 or Xbox 360? It'll look something like that except the detail will be much sharper. I can't elaborate more since you did not list what kind of monitor (or TV) you are planning on using.

You can probably run most games on high to ultra depending on what your monitor's refresh rate and resolution is.

Yes, Wireless N is a type of wifi.

Thank you for the quick reply I'm going to be running on a 24? inch DV-I connected, at 1080p 60hz refresh rate. And awesome, so I should just automatically connect to my wifi network? I apologize at being such a novice haha

Awesome ! Hopefully it'll be worth the 1100 I spent on it

For 1080p and 60 Hz, you can run almost any game in high detail settings with that GPU and CPU and get at least 30 FPS depending on how demanding the game is. Games like Far Cry 3, Battlefield 3 and Max Payne 3 which also have an ultra detail setting which can only be set when running in directx 11 will probably not do 30 FPS. You could try overclocking both the CPU and GPU, but I doubt that you will get completely stutter free game play with those type of games in ultra. High and Very high, yes, but not ultra. It will run the game in ultra, no doubt, but the frame rates won't be a consistent 30 or higher which is the minimum your monitor needs for smooth game play.

Your WIFI is not going to be 100% plug 'n play. You are going to at least have to install the wireless-n adapter's drivers. Then, once windows detects the WIFI signal from your router, you are going to have to enter a password. Then you can play COD: BO II or what ever game you play online and visit Tom's.

Well that's a massive step up from playing on an HP Pavilion G6 laptop hahaha, when I couldn't even get 25 fps on FO New vegas on low haha. And about the drivers, can't I just go into the properties of the device and look for drivers?
