As some of you may be already aware of, it's been a few months since I had a PC; I wanted a new one, so I built it, but it gave me a lot of problems and still I'm unable to use it but...it will solved in a week probably.
It will powerful enough to run everything the market has to offer, but I would like a few suggestions to test it.

I don't have many taxing games on my library, since I'm used to old PCs, but I have a few which I would like to use (list below); still I'm looking for more, the more the better, I want to make a video montage of my benchmarks when I can!
I'm not willing to buy any new game to make this benchmark, nor to pirate it, but I would be happy if you have a few free suggestions I could use, like demos (i.e. Doom), benchmark tools (i.e. RE6) or free trials (i. e. Titanfall 2); or just simply games from my library.

These are the games I'm planning on running for test as now:
ABZÛ
Alien: Isolation
Batman: Arkham Knight
Dead Rising 3
MGS5 Ground Zeroes
Mortal Kombat X
Ryse
The Talos Principle
Tomb Raider
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Redux
Project CARS
+
Doom (demo)
Dishonored 2 (demo)

Also, here's a small giveaway for you too.

Thank you everyone, my new PC has arrived and I've done a lot of tests, thanks a lot for your feedback, especially for the Origin Access thing, which helped me a lot!
Here's a demonstration of its power: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj_sGHm88RI

Unigine Heaven is my goto for benchmark. They also have Valley, which is much heavier. I don't bother with Valley since I only use light gaming rig, but it would be suitable for you, I guess.

I guess registering isn't free, worth doing it on 480p?

Register is free, but for 1080P and more you need pay :)

I see it was recommended a couple of times already, but I'm sure you will hit the limit with GTA V and can great footage of the performance you'll have. The game also provides a benchmarking tool and a movie maker. Happy gaming with your new rig! :)

Nice, do you have a link to download the benchmark tool?

It's in-game, you can go to the graphics menu and press TAB to start benchmarking it. This is a random example from YouTube how it looks.

I hope there will be a free weekend then soon or you'll win it here! ^^

It's not a game nor a benchmark tool (though you can use it to measure the raw computational power of your computer), but Folding@home means you can use your computer's power to simulate folding various proteins. It's developed by Stanford University and the results are used to further research into cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and/or Huntington's disease.

As of April, 139 peer-reviewed papers have been published using data from the Folding@home project. It even successfully managed to simulate the folding of Src kinase, which demonstrates real progress by the project.

Alternatively, there's SETI@home which is developed by the University of California, Berkeley. This uses your computing power to analyse noise from space, looking for narrow-frequency radio transmissions which would suggest the presence of intelligent alien life.

Both of them can render a nice little picture of what it's currently working on which is fun to watch too :)

Other fun little scientific "benchmark" programs:
SuperPi - Calculates pi to a specified number of digits (and you can specify obscenely large ones). Note that it's single-threaded.
y-cruncher - Also calculates pi, but multi-threaded.
GIMPS aka Prime95 - Attempts to find Mersenne prime. A Mersenne prime is a prime number with the general equation (2^n)-1. There are actually prizes for finding new Mersenne primes (I believe it's $50k if you can find one longer than 100 million digits, but there's also a smaller prize for finding new Mersenne primes which are less than 100m digits long).
