Is a Intel Pentium G3220 with a NVIDEA 4 gig descrite graphics card good for gaming? Note: I wont be playing any hd games like call of duty or bf, only Minecraft, Tf2, and some garrys mod mabye wth skype at the same time, btw the games wont be at the highest video options. I wont be playing non stop by the way only 1 or 2 hour at the most with 2,3, or 4 hour breaks.

I would have to say that it's not really good for gaming. YOu could do it, but I don't know that you'll get much satisfaction from it.

It's ok... If you can afford an extra $15, get the G3258, it's a bit better, also better price/performance, but the main advantage is it's unlocked so you can OC.

I would not even bother getting the Pentium and try get an i3 with a discrete card then you would know it deffinatly run Tf2,Gmod,MC and probably COD and BF!!

And then add a little more for the Z99-chipset motherboard that allows overclocking. :) 

But yes, that Anniversary Pentium is better than an Core i3 for gaming.

That processor though not a top end processor, will allow you to play those games on good settings. I would like to know about your Graphics card as you stating its Nvidia and 4 GB does't really say which exact card it is.
Just to let you know that those games you have listed ; that you will be playing especially Minecraft don't require much from the CPU nor the Graphics.
