You should get great performance with this, as I have a very very similar build myself.
Hope this helped.

nice what fps do you get on game you plAY? have you overclocked if you have is 500w enough?

 

[LukieBoy007]

I still have the stock cooler for my i5 3570k so I haven't bothered overclocking that. But I did manage to overclock my Sapphire 7850 to 1000Core/1300Memory (Default is 860 Core/1200Memory). If I tried to max out the sliders in MSI Afterburner (1050Core/1450Memory) then my system did crash, but I'm happy enough with what I have now. If you wanted more power then may I recommend this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMPSU-600CXV2UK-Builder-Series-Supply/dp/B0050AFU46/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1343484125&sr=1-1 (I only just realised the £4 price difference).
I play Skyrim maxed out and get 60fps 90% of the time, and even with a lot of graphical mods, such as high-res textures, I never go below 40fps. Fallout New Vegas runs maxed out at 60fps. Unfortunately these are the only new-ish games I have, but if you look at benchmarks for the 7850 you should see it's a great card. I should let you know I play at 1680x1050 resolution.
You're still looking at 60fps on Ultra at 1080p:

What games are you thinking of playing?

 

[deadbart]

would i be better off ggetting the gtx 570?

 

[LukieBoy007]

Depends on the sort of games you want to play. If you wanted to wait 2-3 weeks, the GTX 660 should be released and has will perform better than a GTX 570 or a 7850 and will cost around £200 supposedly.

 

[deadbart]

yeah its a build for christmas, i just like to get hyped up about it

 

[LukieBoy007]

Haha I did the same thing
I'd say by then nearly everything listed above and possibly a GTX 660 or a GTX 660ti instead of the 7850 would be your best bet.

 

[deadbart]

ok nice

 

[LukieBoy007]

Good luck
