[aidanp]

Hey guys im building a computer for my friend and his budget is $900. The specs are,

8gb Memory

WD Blue 1tb

EVGA Gtx 760

i3 4130 Dual Core Processor

500w Corsair CXM500

Windows 8.1 Pro

 

Will this i3 bring performance in games down alot or can he enjoy this computers gaming potential?

I'd assume you are going to need an OS? Also do you need Keyboard,Monitor, or Mouse?

I already factored that in the price but will these components be ok for battlefield and other games

i3 will only drop you like 5-10fps in most games compared to an i5.

This would be better if you don't mind AMD CPUs. It is nice and has an SSD and a better GPU. If you want to an Intel build I can do that do if you want.
