All I'd like to know. Is this good enough to run most games on medium graphics or not?

That will help a decent amount and should allow solid 60fps at medium in most all games at 1080p. Some may even run at high. I do recommend a better quality PSU though.

Looks good. That CPU cooler is better than the stock one but not enough for overclocking so it might be a waste.
Otherwise it looks good. PSU is a bit low quality,http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550s... would be WAY WAY better. and I STRONGLY recommend it.

Grab a CoolerMaster Hyper 212X CPU Cooler. Not sure what they are in pounds but I'd say somewhere between 15-20.

Yes, not anything close to max as both are VERY poorly coded games. It will certainly run them even though. No overclocking required. Overclocking is more of a hobby than it is for actual performance gains. So do you think that the CPU cooler is necessary?
Only if you are intending on OCing your CPU.
Either of those CM coolers are good.
