Im thinking of upgrading my PC by swapping out my processor, motherboard and RAM for this bundle:

I will have the 8 gb of ram rather than the 4 gb. And also this graphics card:

I will hope to be able to run games like Team Fortress 2, Portal 2, L4D 2, LoL and maybe even the original Crysis at maximum settings.
But i am unsure of whether that will happen as i dont know what to look for when cheking for specs.
A few wise words in this matter would help a great deal.
PS if the Graphics card has a HDMI port do i just connect it to a HDTV with a HDMI cable to get the image and sound through the TV.

I don't think you'll achieve what you want with that set up. All of those games excluding Crysis are fairly low demanding but you've gone for some awfully low end components.

Aside from that you're buying into a dead platform.

You must be able to get a 2nd generation i3 bundle for about the same price. Then upgrade the graphics card to no less than a GTX 460. That'd put you in good stead for the future for only a few quid more.

Game Debate's Specs Tester says that on Crysis 1 I Get eight stars for the CPU AND THE SAME FOR THE GPU AND SEVEN FOR THE RAM but i dont know how accurate that test is.
