You forgot to put the Graphics card spec of your PC.
Since your Processor, RAM and HDD (kinda) is decent, the only thing that matters, and matters the most is the GPU. If your GPU is HD 4800+ or up, and GTX 260 and up I'd say you'll be alright. |

Re: Just brought a new gaming desktop, did i buy the right stuff?
Sounds a little over the top AND overkill, but seems a little over priced unless you have a $150 graphics card...
