Hey guys I'm just wondering if this setup will be good enough for gaming

Also do you reckon it could run games like Battlefield 3 and Crysis?

Thanks

Its £58 GA-970A-UD3PAsus < £104 M5A99FX PRO R2.0 < £120 Sabertooth 990FX R2.0.

Great options all of them. Money enough? Sabertooth.

But stock FX6300 is just sad. Go Haswell i3. Get a i5/i7/xeon later.
