Hi guys.
I have been putting a gaming computer togeather and just wanted to have it all checked out to see how good it all is and if there is anything i would need changing. Also the type of frame rate i would be getting with it on games such as crysis 2 on ultra or high. The computers main use is for gaming and for recording gameplay.
Specs:
Motherboard:
Asus P8Z77-V LX Motherboard (Socket 1155, 32GB DDR3 Support, ATX, Intel Z77 Express, USB 3.0, CrossFireX Support, Dual Intelligent Processors 3)

ram 4GB corsair

Graphics card: Amd 6950


CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.40 Ghz 8MB Cache Quad-core Processor - Black Edition


Power:Corsair CMPSU-600CXV2UK Builder Series 600W Power Supply


I am not sure how good this would be and also not sure if it will even all work together with the motherboard so could do with some help. The thing i am least sure about is how good the CPU is for gaming.

Also i left the HDD out because i already have one which i will be using and i am thinking of getting an SSD to run fraps on.

Thanks and hope i get lots of answers.

Ok i have got rid of the links sorry i did not realise.
So is what i put together any good. I was told by technician to get the 6950 (for certain reasons). I was originally getting a gtx 550ti but he said that would not be good enough.
 
Im getting it for about £125 and that is around my budget for the graphics card. Sorry i forgot to mention i was going for as cheap as possible but also great for that price. My max spending was around £350 without VAT. So the actual price is around £420
 
So it will get these frame rates with this CPU and graphics card then?
Also if you know "can i run it". Is there a version of it where u put in the specs of the computer so you can see what a computer that you are building will be like?
 
Can i overclock that CPU. Also how good is that CPU. At the moment on my laptop which is an alienware m11x r3 i have an intel® Core™ i3-2357M Processor
(3M Cache, 1.30 GHz)
This processor is not good enough for gaming. So will this I3 be any better.
(i know its the processor that is not good enough because i went on can i run it and on basically every game it came under the minimum specs)
 
Well i am likly to change the processor after a while of using it and more games come out with higher specs. But depending on how good the i3 will be i am not sure when. So i i3 better that the AMD i original posted or are there any better amd's that i can get cheaper?
 
If i was going with the 560ti with the i3 could you please have a guess at what the framerate would be on ultra and on low (high) in crysis 2 as this is the game i play the most and if i know the framerate for that i could probably work it out for the rest of my games. Also is this power supply any good: Antec High Current Gamer HCG-400 - Power supply ( internal ) - ATX12V 2.3/ EPS12V 2.91 - AC 100-240 V - 400 Watt - active PFC

Or would i not be wise to go for a cheap power supply (as i think i could save a bit more money there) what wattage will i need for everything
