Is this a good gaming pc

I'm on a 1000$ budget for a pc (no peripherals) and I was wondering if this build is good mostly for gaming

I wouldn't use the RAM you have, Intel says to use DDR3L with Skylake CPU's. That PSU is really not recommended for a gaming system, either. I changed a couple of things which would overall net you much beter gaming performance.

I do need to over clock and what I've read about that motherboard is that it is t good

You can overclock that set up as well. Performance will be almost identical at the same speeds.
