Firstly, don't shout.
Secondly, yes you should be able to play the games as long as the PSU can handle the load of the GPU. However, 2GB of RAM will not be enough, you will need more RAM for games to work smoothly. Also posting the specs will help in clarifying many of your doubts.

If you type like that i am sure even an i7 will be a bottleneck 
Oh. .I keed. .
I am sure you'll be fine. . but a word of caution : Even though b/w wise you may not get bottleneck issue, but most games use Quad core now (BFBC2 and subsequent) so you may not get the best FPS.
My 2 cents.

Performance will have a hit for sure compared to a quad core, but not even close to being unplayable. Means its enough to give a smooth playable fps as long as ur GPU can handle it. Add more RAM, and if you have a good PSU, then take the CPU to some 3~3.3 Ghz. Can be done on stock voltage and stock cooler, but will give a good boost in performance with the 6770.
Also If it does although i am sure it will not,try overclocking your CPU..then it would be just fine. But do keep in mind about your PSU it might mess things up real bad which you haven't mentioned. Kindly Mention your PSU too.
