First time building a PC and I need help!

[Misterfly]

Hey guys im new to building pc's and I was wondering will this pc be able to play most if not all games on medium to high settings. Ive been reading a lot about these parts I have and I think this is what im going with. If someone tells me otherwise then I will go with what they say if they give me reliable so these are my specs


*Intel I5 3570k (Im doing gaming and light video editing)
*Western Digital 1 tb 7200 RPM drive
*EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Superclocked
*PNY Optima 1333 8gb Ram
*ASRock Z68 PRO3 GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68

I'm mostly going to be playing FPS games like COD and battlefield 3 (yes I know they are very different requirement wise) and then games like mc (with shaders) and other games I know this pc will handle b/c the pc I have now can handle it and it is almost 4 years old and the specs arent that great for today's standards.

I would say that this is a very solid build. All I am interested in knowing is what your PSU is to make sure it is adequate... If you are planing on playing on 1920x1080, you should be able to play most games on high settings with adequate fps.

The ASRock Z68 PRO3 GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 is no really the best paired with a Intel I5 3570K. I would get something like this instead ASRock Z77 Pro4 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157296

Im getting the ModXstream pro 600w modular power supply. Trust me i do not want all the cables hooked up... messy case

I would agree with this, a very nice upgrade for a few dollars. Good Spot
