Hey,
I'm thinking of building a rig, with both new and components I found in my loft to play games like Skyrim and COD Ghosts. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what graphics settings I would be able to run these games at with this build.
Here's the specs:

CPU - AMD FX6300 Black Edition 6 Core
Mobo - Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 Motherboard
RAM - 8 Gb
Graphics card (This I found in my loft) - Asus EAH4350 Silent
PSU - Don't actually know as I cant get it out of the case but I'd assume 500W
OS - Windows 8

If anyone could help me I'd be very grateful.

Regards,

Jason

 
Solution
With the 4350, you'll get 20-30 FPS with low settings at 720p, whereas the 7770 or 250x will get you medium settings at 1080p (high settings in Skyrim).

If I was to get the 7770, what would be the increase in performance? Graphics settings on the games I have mentioned?

You better check your PSU brand, just to make sure it's not a cheapass unkown PSU. Never go cheap on a PSU, especially when it comes to building a gaming rig. You wouldn't want your system die. Better safe than sorry :)
