will this work for gaming? (I will be getting a decent video card) to match up with it

It could if you're replacing a weaker CPU. It handles overclocking quite well up to almost 4.1ghz. If you want a better CPU for the 775 board, try Intel Core2 Quad Q9400 @ 2.66GHz. You can find one under $100.00. But, if you really want a better upgrade, I'd suggest you get an 1155 socket board and I5 or I7 CPU plus DDR3 ram. Much better upgrade.

Yes, it will work. The video card will cover one of the adjacent PCIe x1 slots. Other than that you should be good to go.

Most likely it will work fine, but it is not a very high end video card, so there are no guarantees.

Yes, it would be great for gaming with an additional good graphics card. EVGA makes some really nice ones for not much money.

Your computer should be plenty powerful enough to run it, especially once you upgrade the RAM. You may want to double check elsewhere, however. This GPU works as a low power gaming GPU and work GPU for me. I am upgrading but it will work well with your specs.

No this will not work. I ended up actually buying a dual video card it works so much better

It will work but how much better I don't know. If the graphics card that came with your game computer has 1GB of memory or more, this card may not be better. It's likely the graphics card in your game PC is engineered for gaming. So the best way to get a better one is to look for a gaming card.

As long as you motherboard has at least one PCI slot your fine. CPU does not matter when choosing a GPU. Make sure you have a big enough power supply to power this card. Also you might wanna look into NVIDIA gtx 970 because its the same price (less video memory) but faster speeds.

You can crossfire it with a dedicated graphics card if it is one of the two... i think radeon hd 6570 or 6750 it will say on the box the cpu comes with. you could also just get a better graphics card which i recommend for higher end games. like an radeon R7. you may still be able to combine the graphics card and the GPU i havent tried yet

The graphics card will be fine for rendering simple things on your screen, however if you are trying to play games with graphics settings higher than low, you are probably going to have issues.

It will work. You may not achieve the maximum throughput, due to no PCI-E 3.0 and no SLI. If you plan on getting an additional video card, I would recommend getting a SLI compatible motherboard and a board that supports PCI-E v3.0

Not as it stands, you would need to add a decent graphics card for gaming and a more powerful PSU but it has upgradability for this with a PCI express 2.0 port on the motherboard

Of course it will with a decent GPU. this chip can handle everything on ultra if you have enough GPU support. My i5-4670k and GTX 760 handles any game on max.

Your video card will be most important. I had to upgrade from rhatheon 6480. Went to R9 270. You will need at least duo core and 8 gb memory

Yeah it should be great. I also play a lot of games and everything I've downloaded off Steam is runnable on this card. You might not be able to max settings in all games, but it was running smoothly for me on newer games like the new Metal Gear Solid and I get 120+ fps in Counter-Strike.

I would think so. It mostly depends on your motherboard being compatible with both the processor and video card.

The recommended video card for this game is a Geforce GTX 580 so yes. I'm sure it will.
