Well, I would start out with games like Call of Duty 4, Company of Heroes and perhaps Fear. You might want to complete with a syntetic test, such as 3DMark. Have fun!

Nice PC you've got going on there.

While FPS games are great for testing graphics cards and what-not, the real test lies in larger scale games, like the RTS, Supreme Commander.

SupCom is truly, an RTS on steroids, it is on a massive scale and has a very large number of things for your computer to proccess, As you can zoom out and view the entire map, (Largest map being 81km x 81km) It pushes your PCs CPU A LOT. Running that game on max graphics settings and trying to get a good 40+ FPS has got to be a real challenge.

But another game I would recommend grabbing (Even though it seems you have gotten WAR) would be Age Of Conan, A great game, No matter what the critics say. Beautiful graphics and amazing gameplay. I can only run that game on medium graphics settings otherwise my computer has a seizure, again, a great game.

Good luck, and have fun with your PC. Oh and enjoy WAR, I hear it's great.

Supreme commander I played on my old comp, laggy but boring. AoC is not my cup of tea. I will probably get COD4 sense I cant play WAR for a few days due to gogamer sucking too much.
