Im really new to gaming desktops and I need a second opinion on this. Built it from -
http://www.cyberpowerpc.com

Here are the specs :

CPU: AMD FX-8120 3.10 GHz Eight-Core AM3+ CPU 8MB L2 Cache & Turbo Core Technology

HDD: 1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Drive)

MEMORY: 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory (Corsair or Major Brand)

MOTHERBOARD: [CrossFireX] ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AMD 970 Chipset CrossFireX Support DDR3 Socket AM3+ ATX w/ 7.1 Audio, GbLAN, 2 Gen2 PCIe X16, 2 PCIe X1 & 2 PCI (Pro OC Certified)

SOUND: HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO

VIDEO: AMD Radeon HD 7770 1GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card (Major Brand Powered by AMD)

This is all the info I know. Would this be able to run games like Skyrim or GTA IV . Is there anything that needs to be changed ? Also , are there any changes I could make to keep the game quality but lower the price ? What do you think ? Much appreciated

Go for either a FX-6300 or FX-8320, the FX-8120 is a bulldozer, you want the optimized core usage found in the Piledriver architecture, which is denoted by the second number being a 3
