RE: Help on spec's for new PC - phire nuk3r - 10-17-2010
Would be looking for such games as TPS in the near future as well as black ops.
Would I be ok?

If GTA IV will work on your PC so do Black Ops will. The Specs' are great. The speed 3.11 GhZ may be a lil problem as Black Ops may require 3.50 GhZ +. CoD MW2 requires 3.00 GhZ as a Minimun Requirement to run the game.
Would I be ok?

I wouldn't personally want to get that. They over-clocked the crap out of that, hence only a 1 year warranty. I suggest keeping what you already picked out and getting a graphics card with 1GB and supporting DX11
