Hey guys , I wanna have some opinions on this pc . Is this system good enough for mid/high level gaming ? I'm upgrading . I play at 1366 x 768 .

CPU : Intel Core i3 - 3220
Mobo : MSI Z77MA-G45
RAM : Kingston DDR3 1333Mhz 8GB (2x4GB)
GPU : Sapphire HD 6870
PSU : SilverStone Strider Plus 650W
HDD : WD AV-GP 320GB

If any way possible , can I run Crysis 3 on this rig ? Do you think I can do a few adjustments ? I haven't bought the CPU , Mobo , GPU & PSU . I have the rest .
 
Would say mid-level gaming if you were playing at 1080p, though at that resolution I you would be able to be closer to max settings than medium.

One major adjustment I see, get a proper performance HDD for your boot. Seagate Barracuda or WD Black, a Green boot and program drive will make using the PC a sluggish experience.

Should I get a cheaper PSU to get money for the HDD ?

So the question is , should I get a cheaper PSU ? To get money for the HDD ?
 
No, if you already have the drive then its not worth cutting down the PSU to get a newer one.
Though I would recommend swapping it out to a different unit (which is actually cheaper). The Silverstone Strider series is fairly good, I use one for my own rig, but the 600W essentials aren't that great a unit.
