I recently was given two XFX Geforce 8800GTs by a friend who didn't need them. Around that time, I purchased all the other parts for my system, which are these:

I'm well aware the 8800GTs are not new cards, but I was wondering exactly how well I'll be able to do with them. I'll be buying a 760 or 770 pretty soon, but for the next few months how well will I be able to game, if at all?
