My new system:
Core i5 3570k
Asus P8Z77 V LE
Cosair Dominator Platinum 2x4GB 1866 DDR3
Existing hardware
WD Raptor HD
Inno3D 560 Ti 1GB

What games should be the best to test this new CPU

Solitaire.

If you really want to see what your rig can do then look no further than these two:

Metro 2033
Shogun 2: Total War

I will be amazed if you can run either of these at 20fps on maximum settings.

and minesweeper. If your feeling like a really test, both at the same time.

Seriously though shogun is a great choice.

I have just done the installation, and ran it, it's totally AWESOME!

Photo-realistic.

Yet there are that many servers out there though.

Does anyone happen to know how to switch on the frame rate counter?

Many thanks.

Also, Arma 2/ DayZ is pretty hard on a computer

ARMA 2 if it's the cpu you are wanting to test.
