Yes your mobo specification does mentions 2400 As supported.
Very good budget build , get an after market cooler and overclock both CPU and GPU . you will get to play on low settings at 1080p and medium in 720p , though if you ask me currently newegg is showing that fx 4350 is on sale 85$ and pair that with MSI radeon 260x also on sale ~ 120$ and it will be better for gaming. But do as you wish , for a small system apu is better
( reason for that fx sale is because Intel introduced an unlock Pentium dual core).

Your build is good , Apu ~ 180$ I think , and that fx 4350+260x is around 200$ , and combination will be better for gaming , difference can be up to 5 to 10 fps in CPU intensive games like skyrim, but if you plan in buying a powerful card later on , go with the apu build ,
cheers buy best and good luck .

This would be better for about the same price
PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Fqtyqs
Price breakdown by merchant: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Fqtyqs/by_merchant/
CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core Processor ($69.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Video Card ($114.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $184.98
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
That Pentium will overclock to 4.5 or 4.6ghz

But he will have problems on newer games with only two cores...

How? 4 cores can load double processing than 2, no matter how efficient the two are. Is like comparing a guy with two hands to a primitive robot with 4 hands. The robot will able to handle more load at the same time, while the two handed guy would be all the faster you want it to be, holding two things.

Where you see 4 weaker cores outperform 2 stronger cores is in highly parallel workloads, applications like 7-zip (see Amdahl's law for a more detailed explanation).

Still, if even a game uses only 2 cores, there are two cores left so the system load and sub processes doesn't affect the game. Also provides you ability to have opened applications in the background, and even ability to stream with less FPS drop. More cores will be always better, because the IPC difference between AMD and Intel is only a concern for the people that keeps the day reading benchmarks.

More cores is NOT always better. A 4 core i5 beats the 8 core FXs at almost everything even at stock speeds. Overclock the i5, and it won't even be close. The dual core i3 with hyperthreading beats the 6 core FXs at almost everything until the FX is heavily overclocked. I regular Pentium g3220 will outperform any AMD quad core in most tasks. The g3258 overclocks +50%.
IPC differences between AMD and Intel are a concern for anybody because the difference is not even close. The difference is HUGE. Like 40-60% on average and as much as 80-90% in the overclocked Intels. The difference is far too great to ignore.

Might be, but the charts show 10-5 fps difference in most games.

I would not get an A55 motherboard for any reason. Get an A75 at least. What is your budget? There may be better options in your price range. I do not recommend any FX cpu though. i want to get A75. But the reason i'm getting the A55 is that A75 supports only upto 2133mhz. Than A55 that supports 2400mhz. Right?

Look here is the A55 http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/A55BMK/specifications/
Here is the A75 http://www.msi.com/product/mb/FM2A75MAP33.html#hero-spe...
A55 supports 2400mhz, A75 Supports only upto 2133mhz
I just don't get the usb 3.0 and sata III
