Are these specs any good?

[bfgmetalhead]

AMD Bulldozer FX-4100 3.6GHz Quad Core, CPU8GB 1333Mhz DDR3 RAM, 2tB Hard Drive Storage Space, ATI Radeon HD 6770 1GB Graphic card.

Will these parts run modern Pc games? I am a console player but am buying a new PC geared towards gaming and would appreciate it if you guys could give me the rundown on the specs I picked. By that I mean the finer points like any particular weaknesses or strengths I should
know about.

thanks

Assuming your graphics card is GDDR5 that PC should handle new high-graphics games quite well. I know it's certainly better than mine and mine can run Skyrim with most settings on high.

I can't find any weaknesses but I'm not the most reliable person on AMD products. It all seems strong to me going by the specs.

Looks like it should run most modern games on max without issue. I have a similar setup going and it seems to do the trick. The only thing I would worry about it the RPM ofthe Hard-Drive. Not so much for gaming but for everyday use, if the drive starts to get full it might slow down unless it has a fairly high read/write speed. But that's really minor and honestly shouldn't ever become an issue. Basically unless you want to run multiple instances of say... The Witcher 2 or something equally as graphically ridiculous, you'll be fine.

<spoiler=Not as good as these>I prefer the horn-rimmed look, what can I say?http://www.makingthemodernworld.org.uk/everyday_life/img/IM.0781_zl.jpg

OT: Yes, they should run pretty much anything you throw at them, for now at least. Obviously this doesn't indicate value for money if it's also ridiculously expensive though...

I have to ask, what resolution will you be running? (I am guessing you're not using a CRT).
Becuase it doesn't do THAT well in 1080p and above with max graphics.

I am not a huge fan of the bulldozer line for gaming, but since you're on a budget it will do fine.

Ram is very fine.

Edit: yes I am aware I linked a 5770 and not a 6770, it's just a rebaged 5770.

As far as I can tell yeah. I'd deffinately look into some benchmarks, reviews, and make sure they aren't going to bottleneck each other.

Clicked on the thread expecting a girl asking if she looked good in her new glasses.

Left unhappy.

I have never heard anyone, from big website content producers to random guys on forums, say the bulldozer is anything but an expensive, broken piece of shit.

Do yourself a favor and get something other than a bulldozer.

They have dropped their price a lot of times since the first reviews, the 4100 comes in about at 25% cheaper than the i3-2100 which was the next one I would recommend if I had to but then saw the difference in price, granted it's only around 20 USD but yeah, it's up to OP in the end.

But yes the FX line is for the most part worse than the previous generation AMD made.
