    New build input needed guys? thanks

    I asked a similar question the past but I have made some changes to my build and was wondering what you think

    specs


    Processor (CPU)
    Intel® Core™i5 Quad Core Processor i5-3570K (3.4GHz) 6MB Cache
    Motherboard
    ASUS® P8Z77-M: MICRO-ATX, USB 3.0, SATA 6GBs, ATI®CrossFireX
    Memory (RAM)
    16GB KINGSTON HYPERX GENESIS DUAL-DDR3 2133MHz X.M.P(4 x 4GB KIT)
    Graphics Card
    4GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 690 DUAL GPU - 3 x DVI-I, 1 x mDP
    Memory - 1st Hard Disk
    180GB INTEL® 520 SERIES SSD, SATA 6 Gb/s (upto 550MB/sR | 520MB/sW)
    2nd Hard Disk
    1TB 3.5" SATA-III 6GB/s HDD 7200RPM 32MB CACHE
    1st DVD/BLU-RAY Drive
    24x DUAL LAYER DVD WRITER ±R/±RW/RAM
    Power Supply
    CORSAIR 1050W PRO SERIES™ HX1050-80 PLUS® SILVER MODULAR (£158)
    Processor Cooling
    TITAN FENRIR EVO EXTREME HEATPIPE CPU COOLER (£39)
    Sound Card
    ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
    Operating System
    Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit w/SP1 - inc DVD & Licence

    All comes to £2,100/ $3,302.2 with other things like 3 year warrants, anti virus, heandset, keyboard and mouse all thrown in.
    I need to know whether it would be able to play games on max seetings, lik Crysis 2, BF3, Skyrim, Shogun total war, will it be able to play them on ultra if not how well will it perform?

    Another question is, is this a good build? and what are your thoughts on it

    Thank you for anything you have to say?

    Are you planning to overclock the cpu? I would consider doing a few changes, the GTX 690 is more than £900 but you can get a very similar performance with a GTX 670 in SLI and cheaper (I think is more than £300 cheaper).

    I'd consider the 2nd hard drive as a caviar black since it is faster than the standard HDD you selected, if you are not planning in overclocking the cpu (not really needed for gaming) then you can get the i5-3570 with the triple copper heatpipe cpu cooler. Faster memory is not going to bring a noticeable benefit when gaming, you could get the samsung 1333mhz or kingston 1600mhz.
