How good do you think this computer is?
I'm not a PC builder expert or anything, but I'm getting a custom computer for minor gaming. I'm not planning to play games like BF3, CoD, etc., just some lower requirement games. I'm not sure if I should post the full build but here are the specs, directly copied.
Intel Core i3-2100 3.1GHz Dual Core
Asetek 550LC High Performance Liquid Cooling
MSI H61M/P31 [VGA] (2 DDR3 Slots Max 1333MHz) Intel Motherboard
4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz Memory
500GB 7200RPM Primary Hard Drive
Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 Ti 1GB (Graphics Card)
I guess you guys/girls should post on what you think of it. Is it overkill? Or too little? lol I have very little knowledge about this. I have a budget of $1000 maximum if I need to change or buy extra things.

Alright, well that's good to know.
Super overkill for everything except Skyrim, which can run graphic settings with a mix of High and Ultra.
[quote=Burning]That depends on the games you play, none of which you have named.[/quote]
Okay. I don't play some of these, but I do plan to.
Mount&Blade: Warband

Hearts of Iron 3
Age of Empires 3
Minecraft
Tropico 4

i would get an i5 or 4core amd cpu
bump that ram to 8gigs
that Graphics card can pretty run any game
It's probably fine, but I'd strongly recommend an i5 processor. I also think the liquid cooling is just annoying.
