Need help identifying my computer

Hi guys. I built a PC a couple of years ago, but my memory is somewhat lacking and I need a program that identifies the hardware parts in your computer.

I've used one before, I tried a quick google, but it mostly turns up forum posts from 2006.

My current set up is Phenom x6 1055T / 16GB RAM / 2tb 7200 rpm seagate / 5850 HD - Unsure on motherboard or psu that is sitting in the machine. I have opened it up but can't see any indication written on the modules.

My predicament is that I want to upgrade my 5850 HD to a 7950 HD, but I want to ensure my PSU is up to it.

TL;DR - Is there a free program that identifies all hardware parts on your computer.

Thanks for the quick responses.

I have installed CPU-Z and it shows my motherboard as , "GA-880GM-UD2H". I'll try opening the case again and looking at both sides this side as suggested by valkynaz

And it seems I was blind the first time around, thanks for the tip valkynaz!

I have a Corsair CX 500 PSU in the computer. Will this be enough to go from a 5850 HD to a 7950 HD ?

Ok I just wanted to make sure that my current PSU won't cause any damage if I upgraded to the 7950. Not tried overclocking, but it is something I would like to get into.

Currently I'm happy with performance and I think with a 7950 this system would be fine for me for another 2 years before a new build.

Next year though I'd probably look at upgrading the PSU to overclock for the last year of it's life
