I just want to know if my build is good for gaming. I have it all put together and it runs games smoothly but I want a spec check to see if it actually is good tech wise. A lot of the time my computer freezes up for a sec and says Video Card crashed but successfully restarted. It said something along the lines of that.

Thanks!

Solution
your apu is really holding you back, and are you crossfireing with your 7770? if not, try it out and see what performance you get. if so, disable the crossfire and run off your 7770, see if that fixes isues.
nope, 1 monitor is fine. you have a cpu and a gpu combined into 1 chip, the chip in your cpu socket right now. im not sure how to do it, just post a thread on how about how to crossfire an apu and a gpu. its free, doesnt need any extra hardware, and can improve performance quite a bit :p
 
well, idk if it will fix your graphics card issue, there are too many factors that could be causing your graphics card driver to crash. and is it good for gaming? yes, on low-medium settings. if you want better than medium settings at 720p and low at 1080p, you will need a real cpu with socket am3+ or intel. and you dont need that 2nd monitor, if you dont want it.
