So my 7 year old shit computer is finally dying on me, in what can only be described if it was a human as multi-organ failure, so i decided to finally get a new rig, or the components to build a new rig. This is what I ordered, mainly from advice of friends since I'm usually just a console gamer, not PC (which will now change).

What do you guys think? I know it's not a super computer that runs Crysis on full details or anything, but am I going to be happy with it? Will it run most games decently and whatnot? I appreciate the input!

Looks great.  Assuming you aren't trying to run some crazy high resolution, you should actually be able to run Crysis on high settings. I'm so jealous when people post about their new computers. I'm stuck on a two year old laptop that cannot play the types of games I'd like. It'll run Torchlight at least though, so I play that a lot.  :P

reckon it can play starcraft 2 and dawn of war 2 for example at high settings? "

I think it would have been better if you took two 500GB hard drives and not 1TB. This looks like a great computer and I dont think you would have any problem running even the newest games on it.

I dare not ask how much you paid for it, but it seems good. You should be able to handle Starcraft 2 and Dawn of War 2 no problem. Also, the benchmarks for this card on Crysis Warhead seem very good.

I have the same GPU as you. It's a great card. So far, I have been able to max out every game excluding Crysis at 1080p.

Looks good. The only thing I would personally change is the hard drive. Maybe add an SSD or a 10000 rpm as a system drive and keep the 1TB as file storage.

Looking pretty good, it will definitely play SC2 and DoWII due mainly to the strong processor. LGA1156 is a strong platform, and you can always get a K series later for huge overclocking headroom (thus negating the need to upgrade for years and years). Would've chosen a stronger GPU for a gaming PC, but it should still be quite good for most games, and it's easily upgradeable in the future. 

thanks a lot for the input guys, i'm glad most of the changes you mention are "smaller" things like a different hdd. Even tho I haven't been a PC gamer for ages now, I must admit that I'm getting excited now for this to arrive. Oh and I didn't ask, but I assume I'll be able to run WoW pretty much maxed out too lol. At the end of the day, that's what I'll play the most anyway, after the initial "let me try all these games out" phase.

Thats a really nice build, if you find you need more GPU power wait till the 6000 series cards come out (probably late November).

You should be able to run most games on max. You should be able to run Crysis on mostly max, even at 1080p, especially if you don't put on more than 2xAA. Starcraft 2 and Dawn of War 2 should be no problem. If you paid under or around $1000 for those parts I say you got a pretty good deal.

I'd say those are some pretty amazing picks. You say it isn't a super computer, but in my eye anyone spending more than they need to for an unrealistic gaming experience are just plain suckers with too much money.

It's no problem, just don't expect like excellent performance from metro 2033 or crysis, however most games should be good enough. I say you have nothing to worry about and if you want more power, of course the videocard is the upgrade you can make later on if you feel you need it.

I would've gotten 6 or 8 gigs of RAM instead of the 4, but that's just me.  Everything else is pretty damn solid. No you can at least play anything you want.

Isn't a 460GTX better than 5770 and cheaper? I am not very sure, but you might want to consider it. 

" @Franstone: I wonder what your definition of playable is. I have a 260 and at 1920x1200 on High and no FSAA, it was definitely playable. " 
 
Well I guess that wouldn't mean everything is cranked up then would it? 
"High" in Crysis isn't the highest setting, it's "Very High" and yes I usaually have at least 2x FSAA on. 
Also playing 64-bit w/ DX10... 
If you remember any of the big battle scenes in those open areas, esp at the end of the game my FPS would drop below 20 into the low teens at times. 
 
Just started a new game right now, standing on the beach at the start of the game, 45 FPS, as soon as I turn around it drops to 35 FPS, this is w/ nothing happening on screen. 
Just loaded the boss battle on the aircraft carrier, saw it drop below 13 FPS... 
I consider that pretty playable for the most part.

This rig looks great, and you will have no problems running any current games on this hardware.  Looking at your upgrade timeline, I would suggest upgrading the video card first (when you aren't getting the performance that you want out of it anymore) and then looking to add some more RAM or an SSD when you need a little extra oomph, but that processor/mobo combo should last you quite a while.

Looks pretty close to my new one :P 
You'll be able to run everything decently - except for shitty ports of course. 

the processor is one of the best you could buy . and the graphics card is kinda midrange , currently the graphics card is the part that can improve gaming performance the most .
i would have spent a little more in the gfx department and subtracted that amount from the cpu department. 
 
overall , its going to be a nice computer. and you can always buy another graphics card later on when that time comes.
