Is this a good PC for gaming on ultra?

Hi,
It's so much cheaper to build your own so i went online and got some help from a friend to pick all these parts.
I am hopeful that this system will allow me to play games such as Guild Wars 2, BF3, Dayz on ultra settings with decent enough fps. (30-50)
Also my budget can only stretch to 520 (inc OS)

The Components:
Cooler Master K-series K350 - Usb3.0 Atx Case Side Window

AMD Bulldozer FX-6 6200 Black Edition 3.8GHz Socket AM3+ 8MB L3 Cache Retail Boxed Processor

Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 AMD Socket AM3+ 8 Channel HD Audio mATX Motherboard

Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz Low Profile Vengeance Memory Kit CL9 1.5V

Corsair 600W CX Builder Series 80 Plus Bronze PSU 3 Year Warranty

Seagate 1TB 3.5" Barracuda SATA-III 6Gb/s Hard Drive - 7200RPM 32MB Cache

Sapphire HD 7770 GHZ Edition 1GB GDDR5 DVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card

Liteon Ihas120 20x Dvd±rw (dual ±r)/ram Sata Drive

£435.03

I will then add windows 7 to it.#

It looks pretty good... but you would need a better graphics card to get ultra settings. I would also recommend getting the FX-6300 it is a good amount better in games than the 6200. If you want ultra settings i wouldn't recommend any video cards lower than AMD 7850, GTX 660, or AMD 7870 - in order from weakest to most powerful FPS wise.

first thing, save a few quid and get a Corsair 500W, you wouldnt need the full 600 for what you need it for
second, look at graphics that have 2GB dedicated instead of just 1GB, i myslef purchased the Sapphire 7870 2GB GDDR5, it runs all Crysis games and Far Cry 3 on ultra with no hesitation (also i have Corsair 500W)
also i wouldnt bother getting a 6 core processor, you'd only use the full 6 if you did things such as video editing, games these days hardly use more than 2 processors, i'd recommend a decent quad core.
if you take my advice and get a quad core and 500W psu, you'll save money here which you can put towards a better graphics card,
hope this helps

Wrong... Both GW2 and BF3 use as many cores as you have... as for Dayz I'm not sure. More and more games are being developed to take advantage of 4+ cores.
