I have been looking at buying a pc (mostly for gaming) for the past month or so. I have looked up a few recommendations and came up with this. Will this be able to handle most games? I am very new to this, so any advice/ recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Added case. Switched around a few components. Price @ 600.
CM Elite 430 is only $30 and its a decent case if you want to save $15.
