Looks like a decent build, I imagine you should get smooth framerates on any game if you turn down to medium or high quality settings.

If you're willing to overclock though, I'd change to a Pentium G3258 or AMD Athlon X4 860K and overclock them. The Pentium would give better performance in games but the AMD is a quad core so programs that take full advantage of that might run better. Also the new Farcry and Dragon Age won't even open on a dual core, might be worth getting a quad core in case other games follow suit.

Both of those would give you better gaming performance for less cash (if you overclock). The i3 isn't overclockable.
