Contrary to the thread title, I was wondering if any members with extensive computer knowledge will be able to tell me if the following specs will run modern games well...I haven't bought the parts yet but I am going to in less than a week...just want second opinions from you guys~ thats all. (To the mods, if you feel that this should belong in the Tech Section, you can move it - I apologize, but since people check Free MMORPG section more so than the Tech Section, I had to post it here....because I need opinions/advice fast :3)
