Will this PC run TS3 (high settings) and some other games?
I have been looking for a new PC for a while, I'm not the best at this stuff. But I have checked it against the Wikis guidlines and it seems to fit all of the criteria. What I want is a PC that will run TS3 and 1 EP (Supernatural), 2SP's, on the highest settings with a reasonable amount of CC, with next to no lagging, the odd hiccup here and there is okay though. I have customized (I say this loosely as I have actually only changed 2/3 things) this PC by PCSpecialist: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/view/Editing-v850-pc/, I think it should run it very well and I just wanted a second opinion. As the last thing I want is to go out and buy a PC that it utterly rubbish. If you have any other suggestions my price range is roughly 700-850 with the cost of a mouse and key board thrown ontop of that as I will have to be buying those knew as well. Thanks if you can help!Case

***The only other games that I really play are Skyrim, Civilization 5, Garry's Mod and Minecraft, but I'm pretty sure this will be able to handle then. Although I'm not too sure about skyrim, anyway thanks!!
Will changing the graphics card to 4GB make a lot of difference in performance?

Hey there, it should handle all the games you mentioned with no probs. as for 4gb vs 2gb, pre 2014 games won't really benefit from more then 2gb at 1080p. Newer games should see a performance increase when you use high res textures, and when you game at higher than 1080p you will start getting some benefit from more VRAM.
