Will this particular PC handle very demanding games like Witcher2, Battlefield, Crysis 2, etc. at max?

My PC:

Intel i7 (six core) 980x Gulftown

Asus Sabertooth X58

Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3

Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Radeon HD 6970 2GB

Also is this considered a high end PC?

Yes. It should max all of those out just fine. Even at 1080p. Just turn off ubersampling on the witcher 2.

Spending so much money on a PC and not being sure if it can handle "very demanding games" is not something I would brag about LOL.

I think you already know it will.

There's a sticky for showing off your rig, you know.

Poor system you have there.

A 2600k + CrossFire 6970 would thrash that over priced piece of silicone all over the park.

TC, I'm not sure if you are bragging or not but that's definitely a high-end system and can max out almost every game out there.

Lol agreed. Funny how like the amount he is paying for the CPU could probably get him a decent ENTIRE PC.

So you pick a chip that is outperformed by something a third of the price? You got robbed on that PC TC.

Those are very good parts. Yes, easily.

I don't like hexacores, though. They're useless for gaming right now. You would have been fine with a quadcore I5.

Theres a difference between putting specs in your sig and asking an obvious question in a thread to which you already know the answer.

Of course that computer will run almost everything extremely well. However, I notice a lot of you guys bashing how much he spent on the CPU. Did he say how much he spent on it? Did he say where he got it? Maybe he bought the whole PC already put together off Craigslist or ebay for a huge discount. Maybe he bought the parts used for dirt cheap.. Who knows? Of course the 980x is pretty much obsolete due to Sandy Bridge (and probably Bulldzoer), but to assume that he wasted money when you don't even know how much he spent is just dumb.

He should have said so then, when someone posts their computer specs and asks for opinions one can only assume relative market prices to give an opinion about it unless said otherwise.

There is a thread where people can post there rigs, making new threads clutters up the forums for no reason. There is a difference between mentioning it in your sig and making a new thread about it.

I completely disagree. The mistake was made by those who assumed. He said nothing and asked nothing about price. It should never have come into the conversation unless he stated what he paid.

I think you imputed bad motives when it was unnecessary. The TC even came back and said that he was serious. He didn't brag, he insult anyone.

All that I said was "brag thread?", I never disrespected him or "imputed bad motives" in any way...

Sorry but nobody buys a 980x and not know their stuff. And those CPU's have very good resale so I dont see him snagging one for cheap on ebay unless the seller was very stupid.

See this is how internet is there are far too many trolls so there is nothing wrong in questioning the legitimacy of a user/thread even if there is not enough evidence supporting it.

So lets hear it from TC, how much did you pay for that CPU? And how did you end up buying it if you dont know much about computers?

Tc did you already buy this rig? I would swap the 980x for an i5 or i7 SandryBridge, there is really no point on spending that much on a CPU unless money is like toilet paper to you :P

So did you buy this already or are you planning to? Cause if you havent bought it yet go 1155 motherboard and i5 2500k for gaming. Unless you like throwing money away.

Edit: If you like throwing money away then do this ^^ and buy two GTX 580s instead of one 6970.
