Is this a good gaming pc?

[cadbane4321]

So my parents have decided to finally buy me a new computer (DONT tell me to build one because my parents won't let me). I found one on ibuypower for ~$950. Here are the specs:

Intel i7 3770 processor
Nvidia gtx 660 graphics card
8gb 1866 g skill ripjaws ram
Gigabyte z77-hd3 motherboard
500w corsair power supply
1 tb hard drive

Keep in mind that the upgrade from 1600 to 1866 ram is free. Also the upgrade from gtx 650 ti to the 660 is free as well. So I was just wondering how well this will perform w/ shaders and without. Can it run shaders on normal setting with 30+ fps? I would appreciate all of the feedback I could get. Thanks

P.S. the computer has to be under $1000

Pretty decent. It should run upwards of 40-50 fps with shaders. Smart choice choosing 660 over 650 ti. Just go around and look up benchmarks.

40-50 fps with shaders?! Holy mother of Notch...

This computer is pretty close to what I have and it's doing me good.

I've never actually tried shaders though.

looks pretty solid to me should run well

yes but a 700 series GPU and a 4th gen CPU would be better and cheaper

Anything Ibuypower ~ will be good.

But if its going to be a 4th gen intel you have to change the motherboard

 

[marcopolo70]

i think it still would be better

Sounds good.
I know nothing about computers.

For $950, that looks awesome! Good choice.
