What games can i play with this build. I like fps games that are fast paced. Such as bf4, swbf3, games in that nature. I'm asking this because I'm not quite sure what my PC can handle and at what settings?!?! Thanks in advance

Build:
HD 6950 2GB
Intel i5 2500K 3.30 @4 cores.
(4*2) 8GB 800MHZ
500w psu
Win10
Cooler master haf x

Peripherals:
Benq 24inch monitor @60Hz
Steel series sensei 1800 dpi
Some razer keyboard I forget t
 
i5 2500k with 8 GB of DDR3 1600 isn't bad, but is getting old. The GPU is probably holding you back more though. Some 6950's can be flashed to 6970, but even doing that won't help that much.

Something like an R9 280/280x or GTX 960 would be roughly 2x as powerful as the 6950 and be able to handle 1080p on High to ultra in most games.
