Will this be good for light gaming in newer games at low settings?

i would add a basic gpu like the 750ti to give more eye candy and fps.
the r9 would be a waste with your current cpu as its not particularly strong.
so i would suggest you upgrade the cpu as well when you decide to upgrade the gpu.
you will also need a stronger psu for the r9 280 amd recomend a minimum of 600w although 550w would do at a push.

its ok. it gave me time to look up some benches. and its pretty good news.
if you stick to 720p the apu will pull decent fps in most games like (tombraider/bioshsok infinate) 30-50 on medium settings which is fairly similar to what you would expect from a ps4.

but i would suggest you buy the higher power psu now rather than replacing it in 6 months. minimum 80+ bronze from a reputable manufacturer like seasonic, antec,enermax all do good psus in the 600-650w range. they cost a little more but you wont find better for the money.
