Without knowing the exact specs of the video card and the games you want to run, it's not possible to give you a very accurate answer. The Phenom II processor and the amount of RAM are more than adequate, but if you have a mediocre video card (although with that setup I doubt it) it'll act as a bottleneck in your system.



EDIT: That videocard you specified will definitely bottleneck your system. You should consider a more powerful graphic card. For just $40 more, the GeForce GTX 460 is an excellent value.

It depends on the video card. If you don't know what it is, I HIGHLY recommend going to http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ and using that to check whether your computer will run that game.



Though if your graphics card is anything like the processor, you should be able to do it with ease.Will a computer with these specs run pc games and flight simulator x smoothly?
Hi Stever Urkel,



It should run pc games and flight slimulator x smoothly, especially if the graphic card is independent of the motherboard.
