    Small-form system for moderate gaming

    Hello good people of MMO-Champion!

    Been getting tired of my laptop's noise from its cooler, and I'm hunting for a moderate yet a bit towards the decent side system.

    Laptop is an i5-3210M/6GB DDR3/Radeon HD7670 1GB RAM, and I want to trade it for an ITX system with these in it:

    Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H87N-WIFI
    CPU Intel Core i3 4130 3.4GHz box
    GFX Palit GeForce GTX 650 OC 1GB DDR5 128-bit
    HDD WD 1TB SATA-III 7200 rpm 64MB Caviar Blue
    RAM Kingston HyperX Red Limited Edition 8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Dual Channel Kit
    PSU Segotep SG-500A Active PFC 80+ bronze
    Case Cooler Master Elite 130 black

    For games that I play - Diablo 3 and WoW, garnished wit a bit of Mass Effect trilogy and GTA4 and Skyrim.
    Will they run decently? If not on 1080p, at least 720p/1360*768.
    Or would a GeForce GTX550 Ti perform better than its newer counterpart?

    From my country these parts would be ~600EU, if anyone has better suggestions for the components please reply!

    Thanks in advance for your help and replies!

    Have a nice day!

    Definitely get the 650 Ti Boost, not a regular 650 or 650 Ti, they're pretty terrible for any form of gaming at 1080p. Also consider that for the same amount of money a 2GB HD 7850 is around the same price these days, and a decent bit better.

    This.

    If you want to go cheaper, then get a Radeon 7790, they are between GTX 650 Ti and Ti Boost performance. But they go for $100 ($80 after rebate).
    Why do something simple, when there is a complicated way?
    Ryzen 7 2700X | BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4 | 16GB DDR4-3200 | MSI X470 Gaming Pro | MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G | 500GB / 750GB Crucial SSD
    Fractal Define C | LG 32UK550 | Das Model S Professional Silent | CM Storm Xornet
