Looks good to me. Never heard of that case, so I don't know what temps will be like, but in terms of specs, that's a fine machine.

i have a very similar build and i can max bf3 with 50-80 fps, although i would get the ASUS GTX 670 DirectCU II.

As above - seems like a decent system to me.

That's a lovely little system, in fact I'd be looking at getting a bigger monitor for it. That rig is more than capable of running all your games at 1920x1080, if not higher.

 

[jussman66]

What FPS would I get on games like Skyrim,BF3,MW3,Black Ops and Portal 2?

See following GTX 670 review for benchmarks which uses an Intel Core i7-3770K @ 4.7 GHz in the test rig. Portal 2 uses the Source Engine which is not very demanding so frame rates should be extremely high.

That sounds good! Just make sure the case if full tower so your video card won't overheat.
