why get an old processor?
fill the pc build questionnaire template in pc build section and start your thread in pc build subforum.

Why not go for amd. Many are taking the plunge, the cake might not be a lie afterall. Check out the pricelist thread bazar section.

^^ It's system requirements was published

@ sukesh1090 - from next time use appropriate thread title - it's very confusing

around 5k budget you should get Sapphire HD5670 512MB gfx card.

that cpu is enough to run these games you've mentioned provided you have a decent gfx card like HD5670 suggested in here by many.
