Would these specs be good for gaming/recording some games?

[Sir Jabez]

Hello, I'm new to this lovely community,
I would like to ask you if these specs would run games like BF3, Arma 3, GTA 4 ect.
I would also like to record game play too, it doesn't matter if its on low graphics settings.
Another question will the I5 3570k work in the ASRock B75 Pro3-M Motherboard?
Here are the specs.
----------------
CPU - Intel Core i5 3570K 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) Quad Core CPU (Ivy Bridge), LGA1155, 6MB.
------------------
Motherboard - ASRock B75 Pro3-M Motherboard Socket 1155, Intel B75 Chipset,
4x DDR3, 3x SATA III 6Gbps, 4x USB 3.0 (2 x rear, 2 x internal), 1x PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot, Gigabit LAN, 7.1 channel HD audio, HDMI, DVI, D-Sub,
----------------
RAM - G.Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL 8GB (2x4GB) PC3-12800 DDR3 (1600MHz)
---------------
GPU - 2X HD Radeon ASUS Radeon HD7770 DirectCU 1GB V2 1020MHz core
clock, 1GB of GDDR5 running at 4600Mhz
--------------
HDD - Seagate ST1000DM003, 7200RPM, SATAIII 6GB/S, 3.5", 64MB cache.
-----------------
SDD - Fujitsu S306 64GB SSD, SATA 6.0 Gbps interface, a SandForce SF-2281 controller and capable of delivering read and write speeds of up to 550MB/s and 510MB/s, respectively.
-----------------------
I will later upgrade the GPU & Ram, but for now I'm on a pretty low budget.
Thanks for reading

What a waste, putting 3570k on a B75 - you're won't be able to overclock it, and thats the whole point of having 'k' model CPU - to overclock it now or later. Just drop the SSD, it's not much of a use anyway - you'll fit there just OS and maybe couple games, and invest money into Z77 chipset motherboard. And if i'm reading it how you meant it, you plan to put two GPUs on on a B75 motherboard that has only one slot? Another reason to get Z77. But wait, Radeon crossfire is not that great, you're better off spending money on single GPU which will serve you good, so you don't have upgrade it later. Also no point in upgrading RAM, you got it right already.

Thanks for replying & for your useful tips, I'll get a different motherboard and drop the SSD.
The ASRock B75 Pro3-M does have 2 graphics card slots though, but I'll get a ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Performance Motherboard instead. The only reason i want to go crossfire is, i already have 1 HD7770, and i'm planning to buy another one, but would it be more reasonable just to use the 1 of the HD7770's, and not waste my money buying another one? and use that money to put towards a better GPU?

Should've mentioned from the start that one Radeon is alredy owned by you. It's clear for me that now you should just avoid spending money irrationally. First of all you went too far with Fatal1ty. Nice board like Asrock extreme 4 will serve you great. Costs a lot cheaper - money saved. Next, if i was in your position i'd sell HD7770, add to that money saved from motherboard and money you wanted to spend on second 7770, should be enough for high end videocard. I suggest, something like GTX 670/ GTX 660Ti or if you prefer Radeon - HD 7970

Thanks man! I really appreciate it, i should of mentioned it, sorry about that. I will get the Asrock Extreme 4, That really suits my needs at a good price i found one for $125 . I will sell the 7770, and get a GTX 670, yet again thanks for your support i hope you have a blessed day/night.
