You should be fine. The graphics and processor is exactly what I have. You may have tiny lag running FRAPS though.

450 watt plus power supply seems a little weak.

If possible you might look into getting a SSD and/or a better GPU.

Regardless it should run okay.

Thanks.But could you maybe tell me why it will lag?

Yeah, that seems like a pretty decent setup to me.

Thanks Tom :)

No problem!

Why don't you try getting a GTX 560 or 480?

The website only has 610 upwards :( and the rest are too expensive.

Just had a look at the 560 and its £200...this is to expensive for me but thanks anyway :)

Looks solid. Get that video card and be sure you can run SLI/CrossFire (looks like you can). You have to run matching cards only.

Once you feel the need for more POWAH you can purchase the same card, which will be cheaper at that time, and run SLI/CrossFire! Easy upgrade. As mentioned, a higher wattage supply may be needed, so consider purchasing a higher one so when the time comes to upgrade and add a second video card, you're not buying a new power supply too.

Just a thought. It's what I'll be doing come time for a new system, only the higher the graphics card now, the better when I add a second one. Consider spending a bit more now on your video card.

Sorry im not quite sure what you mean by SLI/CrossFire?

That's the term used by Nvidia/ATi, respectively, when you have two video cards or more running at one time. Dependent on your motherboard, you can run up to four video cards at the same time, which takes huge power supplies, other products, and tons of money to do right. A quick Google search of SLI will give you a better understanding of multi-GPU setups.

Most people stick to one or two obviously, but there's systems out there...and they may for some serious gamer rigs.

That's a good selection of parts I'd say, possibly get a slightly more powerful motherboard? Also, where are you getting this from?

I have told you about 500 times that this is a good gaming computer. Don't get a 400 watt power supply. I have told you that maybe a half million times. If you take short cuts on computers it's not going to work or your going to destroy it. Maybe try to listen, if it sounds like I'm pissed of I kinda I'm because I have told you half million times about what you should get.

I am getting a 600 watt power supply...I editied it.And sorry its just I want other people opinions aswell.

If you can go up to 130-150 for a gpu there are a number of very good options at amazon.co.uk.

I'm using a EVGA GTX 560 Ti and it's run the game very nicely.

I'm using the MSI GTX 560Ti Twin Frozr II which also runs the game very well. Around 50FPS.

Aha that's where I got my beast from, bit of advice though. Don't buy any of the AOC monitors as they don't come with the required cables.

Almost same specs as me except my video card (GTX 560) and some other small thing so you should be able to play with almost no lag your favorite games ;)

I was planning on buying a monitor from amazon ;)
