4670k to take advantage of the overclocking capabilities of the mobo, or u can go with the 4670

I have this model but it all depends on which model you get. Some come with a Core i3. I have the i5 model and I can play most 3d games on medium to high settings well.

Hi John.This computer could be a decent gaming machine if you do the following. Add a 64 bit OS to it. Then add like 8GB of ram. Now your talking! However your card with an i5 or i7. Is insane dual core processors vs quad cores for gaming will produce a lot more frames per seconds. I hope that helped and sorry for the typos.

I really can't answer one way or another as I don't play League of Legends. Looking at the LoL FAQ page, it looks like the recommended specs are a 3.0 GHz processor. But further down on the FAQ page is a list of Optimal Specs, which calls for a dual core 2.4 GHz processor as recommended. So, it should do okay. I don't know if it will pull a full 60 fps in high detail mode, but it should pull in above 30 fps at 1366x768. Again, hard disk latency is the biggest issue with this system, so you will very likely see dips in the fps in any game as the hard drive tries to keep up. A solid state drive could mitigate the problem and keep the framerate more consistent in any game. If I get the opportunity, I will download and install LoL and Fraps and give it a go to see what happens.

You can overclock graphics cards. But not CPUs. However if you have intel turbo boost that WILL work so keep that in mind

Mine runs minecraft on maximum settings pretty alright. For a game like that for sure get a graphics card upgrade and maybe another stick of RAM.

Yes! I currently am running a Phenom II X4 980 CPU w/16GB RAM, 6770 Video & SSD. My best build so far. I'm not a heavy gamer but, it has not let me down in any way. Love it.

No CPU. CPU's are in a wide range of prices. Look for Intel Processors and AMD processors. Here is my favorite site to compare prices and levels: http://www.logicalincrements.com/

an I3 can run high quality games, this will have no problem. just get yourself a good graphics card compatible with the motherboard Bios

You are welcome, I hope it helps. The only reason I can see to upgrade from what you have is if you do other heavy CPU intensive programs other than gaming. Of course, if you plan to keep that computer for 5 years, who knows what games will be like then? If they are that CPU demanding in 5 years, it will be time to upgrade anyway. I have 2 3770Ks, a 2600K and a 2500K and can't tell the difference in gaming with any of them other than the GPU.

It also depends on what motherboard/chipset you end up using but the processor itself is more than capable of handling minecraft

You match this with the right components and will play any game. That`s the problem. Too many "techs" are convinced they are tech savy. When the`re not. Intel isn`t happy about this processor.

Dxdiag says i5 cpu @ 2.80 Ghz quad core. No, its i5 on mine. It is cheap for a gaming laptop and you can always upgrade the CPU. Im satisfied with my purchase. Can handle most games at ultra settings.

I've played all of the above with no problems, Can play minecraft on max settings with at least 60fps. tf2 ive played once or twice it was fine. skyrim was also fine

Compared to an A10 processor your probably looking at maybe 1 or 2 less fps If your looking at a quad core intel i7 then your probably looking at a 10-20 fps difference but in all it won't be enough to warrant the extra money unless you have the extra money for an i7.

Dear Jon I haven't played Starcraft but I will say that I play skyrim and GTA v pretty good , and 6gb more than enough ram , as for your cpu not all gighertz are equal but you should be good :)
