CPU - AMD Piledriver X6 FX-6300

Cooler - Arctic Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2

Motherboard - Gigabyte AM3+ GA-990FXA-UD3

Memory - Some sort of Mushkin 2x4 DDR3

Hard Drive - Seagate ST2000DM 2TB SATA
SSD - Toshiba MKNSSDCR 120GB

Video Card - Gigabyte GTX 770OC 4GB

Power Supply - Corsair RM650 Modular PSU 80P Gold

Optical Drive - Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer

Operating System - Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)

Monitor - BenQ GL2460 24'' LED FULL HD 16:9

Questions:
1) How will this build perform in newer games like AC4, BF4, Crysis 3, Skyrim and such?

2) Does this fit in my Thermaltake V3 BlackX case?

3) That monitor, good or bad? Pros and cons? Can't really afford anything else.

4) Any fan suggestions? Currently have an exhaust fan in the back top, nothing else.

Notes:
I'll be upgrading the SSD and the cooling a tad later, no need to comment on those :)
 
You may have to ask whoever you get the mobo and CPU from to flash the BIOS on it first. To support that CPU

It needs BIOS F9 to support it. This is the 2nd to last BIOS on the site. Well its the last. Since the latest is a beta BIOS

AMD FX-6300 3500MHz 1MBx6 8MB Vishera 32nm C0 95W 5200 F9

It will perform great just think that u are a gamer rather take a look at some of the i5's from intel as they are better for gaming and if you take a cheap i5 that can't overclock the perfomance is still better with the i5 especially in gaming
