Hi everyone, I;m new to these forums and have a few questions about my system and how I can "get the most out of it for gaming". I built most of it my self, as I'm good with hardware, but am absolute [censored] at software and settings and whatnot. So on to my specs, I have an i7-3930K, at 3.20GHz, 3201 Mhz, and 6 cores. So beyond knowing how to install that and make it work in my machine, I have no idea if my computer is using all of the CPU's potential for gaming. How can I make sure of that, I guess would be my question. And I have a AMD Radeon 7079 HD as my Graphics Card, as well I can I know that I am maximising my potential? Thanks in advance guys.

benchmark your system while in games & compare it to other people. I recommend overclock.net to find more ppl to compare it to since they are the gamer type of people with their core i7s and stuff.
AMD Fx 6300 Six Core Processor
8GB DDR3
128GB Crucial M4 SSD
1TB WD HDD 7200RPM
EVGA Nvidia Geforce 860TI

Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
Logitech Z2300 2.1 Speakers
