Uhh, well, there's a decent chance that CPU won't work in that motherboard until it gets a BIOS updae, which you can't do without a compatible CPU, the cheapest one you can get still costs $40.

Besides minecraft most games will run pretty awful. That CPU has known stuttering issues in higher end games.

I'd say save up an extra $100-200 and start with something that isn't crippled when you buy it.

The monitor is f-ing your budget as well.

I'd consider this a sub entry level system, it's better than a lot of other computer that would be ill-suited for gaming, but this is still fairly ill-suited for gaming.

It will "play games" but not well, and nothing brand new.

Agree with James Mason on saving another $100 to $200. What games were you hoping to play? Since games are GPU demanding a good video card is needed. Your choice of RAM is a good one though a 2x4 would give you 8 gigs and dual channel capabilities.
