Wondering if this could handle any high-end games

[Shuffle314]

Wondering if these parts would potentially make a good gaming computer:

CPU:
Intel Core i5-3330 Ivy Bridge 3.0GHz (3.2GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2500 BX80637i53330

Mobo:
MSI H77MA-G43 LGA 1155 Intel H77 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

GPU:
PowerColor AX7770 1GBD5-DH Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

RAM:
PNY Optima 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) PC3-10666 1333MHz DDR3 Desktop DIMMs Memory Kit MD8192KD3-1333


As you've probably guessed, I'm a budget gamer (being 12) and I don't particularly need to play on high graphics settings. But I would be play Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and/or Assassin's Creed 3

Also, what amount of PSU wattage would be best for the current setup?

Any improvements for the same price would be terrific, but I already purchased a MicroATX case a while ago.

Have you bought anything yet???
If not What is your budget?
Also make sure that GPU will fit in your micro atx case...

pretty sure a 550W PSU would work for you and give u more than enough headspace.

switch RAM DDR3 1600 if u can

push up to a 3450 CPU (only $15 more)

 

[Shuffle314]

Yes. I've purchased the RAM... only...:3

Also, I've measured it and yes, it can fit my case. (Antec NSK 2480)

Thanks

Actually I may go the AMD route.... equivalents?

If you've already purchased your motherboard, why would you go with AMD especially for gaming? It would be nice if you can tell us what your budget is. I'm going to assume you're in the US.
