Is this good enough for Gaming?

This is part of what I'm going to be using on my build. Is this good enough to run todays game with decent graphics. I'm upgrading the ram to 8-10 GB. If enough is left over i'm going to get a HD 7870. If this is capable of running skyrim with high I'm happy. If not I'm going to keep looking.

Crap. Read the specs on the motherboard; provides native support for up to DDR3 1333. So your nice set of ddr3 1600 gets downclocked to 1333, that's a smart bundling move right there.

For the same price you can get:

Basically the same, but a better motherboard.
