Will this run ok on 1600x900?

Should run decently I would expect. May run into some CPU hick ups though due to having a two core CPU.

1920x1080 native, although I typically game at 1600x900
8GB DDR3
Win7Ulti
500w PSU
I've just ordered a 7850 that'll be arriving in the mail within a few days. Once my budget allows (likely around Black Friday/Christmas) I'm getting an i5 3570k along with a value mobo, as I don't plan to crossfire or use most of the features on higher-end boards. |
In game that CPU is going to cause a bottleneck. Supposedly they have increased performance, but I haven't tested by Phenom II rig recently. Last time I did it was rather unplayable even with a 7950 unless you like low settings and not so good FPS in big fights. Upgrading ASAP to that i5 will do wonders.
