Weklcome to nsane! Your specs look good except for one thing. Its ur power supply. I would recommend an 800watt psu. You have a quad core cpu and a high end AMD gpu. You may find ur current psu lacking during gaming. If I was in the market for a new psu I would go here: http://www.silverstonetek.com/index.php?area=en and I would make sure it was modular and had at least two (2) "Powerful single +12V rails". Plus you'll want alittle "room to grow" if in the future you decide to O/C or maybe add 2nd gpu and have "crossfire". g/l have fun

Your Radeon 8570D is an embedded GPU on your Richland APU (A8-6600K). That´s a problem for modern gaming. So, forget in-game top notch graphics and resolutions.

Buying a discrete AMD GPU will improve things considerably. You will be able to take advantage of the AMD Dual Graphics Technology, that will help.

Also, no SSD present in your configuraton. That surely is one of the best investments to make, overall system performance will increase drastically, not to mention game loading times.

BTW, :welcome:

Welcome to Nsane world :hi:

Your computer is powerful enough to run any released & upcoming games like : GTA V , Watch Dogs ,Battlefield 4 ... :D

But I agree with mate locoJoe about the Power Supply , It's too low for gaming PC (500W !!) , It's better to be changed with higher one .. So that you will make sure your PC consumes all needed power flawlessly ,especially for AMD modules ;)

It's an AMD APU on a FM2 Micro-ATX MB. The Peak Power Output will be around 280/300W. Edited by Guinness

Again, what you have is an AMD APU (6600K + 8570D) on a FM2 Micro-ATX Motherboard.

Your system´s peak power output will be around 280/300W, so your 500W PSU is more than enough.

With an 800W PSU running on your current rig, the only thing you´ll ever boost is the electric bill.
