I would like to know whether this system is a good gaming pc rig and what would need upgrading (if necessary). I would also like to know would this system be able to run games like battlefield 4 and arma 3 on high settings at a high stable FPS? Also is this system overclock friendly? Here is my system:
Asrock extreme 4
Intel i5 3570k
8 GB Crucial ballistix tactical RAM
MSI twin frozr gtx 770 SLI (two cards- i will start with one and then later on buy another if necessary for games like crysis 3 on maxed settings with no lag)
Zalman z11 plus midi tower case (7 case fans)
XFX 750 watt PSU Cooler master 212 EVO hyper
Thanks in advance :)

WAY too many case fans.

Why not get a 4670k?

With a single 770 you can max most games at 1080p, and with two you will easily max anything.

Very similar build to mine and I am very happy with it, I run everything on either max or ultra settings1080p

it comes with 5 fans and i am going to buy an additional two and it will be safer when overclocking and for less than £10 for 2 case fans I don't really mind and the installment is easy as well. and about the 4670k i have been thinking for a long time but due to pc gamers reviews on it i am going to get intel i5 3570k as i will be overclocking and then 3570k can overclock to what the 4670k can

More fans DOES NOT mean lower temps. Please know this. Correct flow means lower temps. More fans can actually run hotter.

ALL ANY computer needs is a front intake, top exhaust, and rear exhaust.

Even 5 fans is alot and most experts would consider it too many.

Yeah, get the 4670k and i can assure you that you will not need to overclock it for gaming! Also 7 fans will get annoyingly loud and become unnecessary so I would leave the ones in it. Better airflow = lower temps. 5 fans will give you just as much airflow as 7. Also be prepared for arma 3 to lag still just because of the way that the game is programmed not because of your specs. It's also not all about clock speeds on a processor so just because a 3570k is at the same clock speed doesn't mean it will perform as well as a 4670k.
