hmmm currently only d3 and maybe dota 2? haha

getting battlefield if possible.

if u wanna play battlefield then ur expectations have to be realistic

battlefield is very gpu and cpu intensive so dont expect it to be running at high or something

maybe medium yes

the rig is fine in general for gaming, except if u ever wanna play those triple a titles, u will never be able to run at any setting above high

u will be pleased to know that dota 2 is not very intensive on the hardware when u compare to games like bf4 where even a 1.5k rig might stutter trying to run it at max settings

pretty much

although i dont know whether there might be a trend where game studios start to make better use of the cpu

as far as i know, bf4 and watch dogs does, which is why a more powerful cpu is recommended for those games

ur cpu is pretty low tier for that setup, just saying

but alas, no one can predict the future so its up to u to decide
