I am putting a upgraded computer for my wife. She does light gaming, mostly WoW and SWTOR. We will probably be getting the new Final Fantasy MMO.
Her current system is:
i3-2120
4GB ram
5770
64gb ssd
1TB hdd,
24" 1200p monitor
It plays the games ok but they need to be turned down a bit to be smooth. I have a Dell 2713 monitor on the way (thanks dell outlet ) so I know the 5770 is not going to push her games at a native res on that monitor. I picked up a MSI 7950 3GB card to put in and a 256GB SSD.
New system will be:
i3-2120
8GB ram
7950 3GB
256gb ssd
27" 1440p monitor
My hope is to run her games at native res, pretty much maxxed out. Will she be bottle necked by that CPU?
