Hi there, basically I need your guys help. I'm not entirely sure this rig I've customized can run certain FPS's like Farcry 3 and soon to be released Crysis 3 on ultra/high settings, I play other games such as GW2 but that's not major. I'm keeping this set up affordable but still capable of handling ultra settings (with some settings turned down) or everything on high, at least that's the aim.

My specs are;
CPU
Intel® Core™i5 Quad Core Processor i5-3570K (3.4GHz) 6MB Cache
Mobo
ASUS® P8Z77-V: PCI-E 3.0 READY, WIFI, SLI, CROSSFIREX
RAM
8GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz, X.M.P (2 x 4GB KIT)
GPU
2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 660 - DVI, HDMI, VGA - 3D Vision Ready
HDD
1TB WD CAVIAR BLACK WD1002FAEX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64MB CACHE (7200rpm)
Network card
10/100/1000 GIGABIT LAN PORT - AS STANDARD ON ALL PCs (Even though Mobo has WIFI integrated, should I downgrade?)
PSU
450W Quiet 80 PLUS Dual Rail PSU + 120mm Case Fan

Only provided the core elements, nothing else is really required to be said.. I think.

Hi,
If you are not planning to SLI you could get the P8Z77-V LX instead and add a wireless card if required, it will be a cheaper alternative.

Are you planning to overclock your cpu? If you are not you could choose the i5-3570 (non-k) and the triple copper heatpipe cpu cooler. With the savings I'd suggest upgrading the gpu to the GTX 660ti if possible.
