Do I have a good gaming rig?

Is this good enough for current and future games? I got rid of my Xbox since I keep on getting Red Ring Of Death

Games I play: GTA4, Alan Wake, La Noire, All Assassins Creed series, Biopshock 1 & 2, Dirt 3, Need for Speed (news ones), Burnout.

AMD FX 8350 4 Ghz
ASUS ASUS M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard
2X AMD HD Sapphire 6870 Crossfired
16GB Corsair DDR3 RAM
1TB 7200rpm Wester Digital HDD
128GB SSD Samsung
850W SeaSonic PSU

Looks pretty good, the gpu's are a bit old. But i cant see them being much of a problem with those games.

Any reason for 2x 6870s?

Get the 7950 instead

I think as you have the machine in your possession the best way to find out would be fire up those games and see how it runs

Good enough anyway. I don't see any of these games being a problem.

Your bottleneck is the GPU VRAM (1GB), and even then, it's only some games that gobble up VRAM when pushed. But apart from that, looks pretty spiffy.
