Hello guys!! Im just wondering if an i3 4160 can be enough for some gaming today... Im on a budget so I can only afford an i3... 

 

My questions:

 

1) Is it enough for gaming?? 

2) What graphics card is the maximum for this processor w/o bottlenecks

3)Also is the Seasonic S12II 520W Bronze good PSU??

 

Thanks!

It's a decent cpu for most games. I would get a gtx970 max w/o bottleneck

The seasonic is indeed a good psu.

Yes

Almost any GPU at least at 1080p 60fps, it should not bottleneck even a card like a 970 

yes its a good PSU
