Not on the highest settings no. a GTX 570 or HD 6950 might last for a few years however.

i switched to 6950 2gb so i can unlock 🙂 which mobo should I pick

 

[mnewsham]

Any P67 motherboard will be fine since you aren't going to be doing SLI or x-fire. I would recommend the 500w or 600w PSU from this thread.

do you think 500w is enough if I OC? The 600w is too much for me ( CAD $)

 

[mnewsham]

If its not on sale I wouldn't get either, im at work right now but when I get home i'll hop on newegg.ca and check out prices and find you a better PSU and 500w would be fine.

Should be more than enough. I wouldn't get that CM PS anyways. Where are you buying from?

newegg.ca

I think I found a good one http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16817189005 reviews for it are good. Is it enough?

 

[zi0n.]

Get an antec instead.

r the greens good?

 

[mnewsham]

Yes the Antec Earthwatts 500 gets my vote as well.

 

[Kill2Fill]

what about mobos? C43, PRO3 for 15 more, or G45 for 10 more

 

[zi0n.]

Depends if you need any of their "features" otherwise it's all the same.

For power supplies, the only "good" ones are:
XFX
Seasonic
Corsair
Antec

The majority of the rest are crap.

No. Then again, nothing you can buy today will play the games of 3 years from now on all max.

What you have looks pretty reasonable except for the PSU, swap it to the Earthwatts that zion suggested. 500W might be a little low for unlocking and overclocking, so you can also get the EA-650 for ~$70 AR.

Caviar Blue is sort of meh as a boot/OS drive. As there isn't room in the budget for an SSD, and for some reason Samsung F3 is not readily available in Canada, OP should go for the Caviar Black as his single drive.

 

[Kill2Fill]

i went for 650w earthwatts and black
