First off is the Intel Core i3-3220 Ivy Bridge 3.3GHz LGA 1155 55W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2500 BX80637i33220 a good enough processor for heavy gaming? This pc is for gaming, video editing, and recording gamesIf the processor is enough(because its the best i could find for my budget) what GPU would be good for it? I also need everything else including monitor and keyboardi already have a mouse thoughPlease help! The highest i will go is $650! Thanks guys! :)
It's fine to hot glue aluminum and plasticSome light plastics might melt a little if the glue is too hot, but nothing will explode or burn, etc.
To me a heavy gaming CPU is going to be a LGA 2011-based build, Hexacore i7, at least 16 GB of RAM and a pair of GTX 780's or a GTX 690 It's going to be a $2500 buildA dual core Ivy Bridge really isn't enough for even a mid-range buildI'd be looking at a quad core Haswell (i5-4xxx) and a GTX 760/ R8 280X or better, 8GB of RAM, and 1TB HDD If you need a monitor, case, mobo, RAM, HDD, CPU, video card, and a PSU, then $650 isn't going to be enough to build a mid-range gaming machine let alone a high end buildFor a mid-range build, you're going to need about $1000 budget if you need everything.
