Hello, I wanted to know if these specs could run games such as skyrim and Crysis 3. Please also include some frame rate tests if you can. I'm also not looking for suggestions, just those games, thank you. :)

Hello, and thank you. Would this power supply be good instead?
850 Watts

For a gaming build that system looks to me like its unbalanced and has way more CPU power than GPU power. I don't want to recommend a build but from everything I read I feel sure you could run a lower CPU, use the extra money to get a better GPU and end up with a more powerful gaming build.

you're using a workstation socket type and CPU just for gaming? switch to a z97 build and put the RAM down to 8GB. anything above 8GB is probably overkill, and workstation class components for gaming is just a waste of money.
Unless this rig is doing video editing or cad etc. then there's no need for it.
