will this cpu run newish games well?

Not really. Also depends alot on your graphics card. I use mine only for basic email and office use.

I really don't know... I mated mine to an AMD FX 8-core 3.0ghz cpu... with 32gig system RAM... don't worry about 'bottlenecks'... -=grin=-

Im certain your cpu can handle it. I would like to know if my i5 650 can....

of course it will work, best card I ever owned for the price. and no there's no cpu requirement. pretty much the games run off the ram on the card.

So far, it's ran everything that I've thrown at it on ultra settings. It should definitely be able to run those games on atleast high. Good luck!

There's no such thing as next-gen gaming on PC. This is a good mid-tier processor that if paired with a good graphics card, will run most new games on mid to high depending which settings are enabled. If you want the highest performance, either go for the K version of this processor or the i7 K versions as those are overclockable for better performance. Most games will rely more on your video card however for graphical fidelity.

according to the MSI website you should be good.. http://us.msi.com/support/mb/760GMP23_FX.html#support-cpu

should run with relative ease. the four cores includes hyperthreading but it should still be plenty enough cpu power

This is a basic processor for mild gaming performance. No the old speed isn't outdated it's fine unless you build a server

I don't use mine for gaming. I would assume the processor would have difficulty with such applications. I would recommend something with a quad core at a minimum.

Yes, overclocks great;update BIOS version if possible,always best to have latest drivers.

yes, it will run games, but it's not going to give extreme details or all the sparkles of a gaming rig. it's more of a multi-media/work station type machine. i upgraded the ram to 8gig, and it is a sweet machine!

it is compatible with that CPU ... is a very decent cpu for gaming you will have no problem running any game in high settings.

Any current processor is enough to play games at 1920x1080 as long as you have the right video card. It's your GPU that will matter for games most of the time.

If your running stock clocks on your cpu and gpu you'll be ok, probably. I don't know the rest of your setup. Real world power draw is one thing and recommendations are another. I could get your setup to draw 500 gaming or 1000+ if overclocked. So that's my 2 cents.

Yes it will. I have an Asus G72GX and I upgraded to this CPU also and saw a modest boost in performance.

This is a great processor, which helps with CPU intensive games like battlefield 4. You need to make sure that all of the components you pick are in balance with each other so you don't have a bottleneck. Get a decent motherboard that supports this cpu, at least 8GB of RAM and definitely don't cheap out on a graphics card.
