My current PC build is:
ASUS CM1630 case

M4A78LT-M

AMD Athlon II x2 220

EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti Superclocked edition

AcBel PC9045-ZA1G PSU

4GB PNY DDR3 RAM

I want to game on it, but it's hard to upgrade easily. So, I decided to buy a whole new case, motherboard, CPU, PSU, and more RAM. This will be my new configuration:

Apevia X-Sniper 2 Case

Asrock B75 PRO3-M
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B75%20Pro3-M/

Intel Core i3-2100

(Same GPU)
EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti Superclocked edition
http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-375...

EVGA 500B Bronze PSU
http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=100-B1-050...

(Twice the same RAM)
4GB PNY DDR3 RAM
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Is this a good setup to run most games? (I'm not planning on buying any games as extensive as, say, Watch_Dogs) I'm planning on getting a liquid cooling system for this case. Is this a good setup to upgrade in the future? Any comments on any specific piece of hardware? Thanks in advance!

Your selected processor is end of life, which means Intel doesn't produce new ones. You may still be able to get them from vendors, but Intel isn't obligated to support it at all.

What's your budget for the new system, and what are you looking to get out of it? With this information, we can probably do a lot more to build you a good system.

My budget is about $500. I'll try to keep the pricing as low as possible while still maintaining performance. I don't want to go as far as a core i7, but does intel still make i5's?
