Great entry level, a step above console gaming and by far this computer is better then any internet machine at Walmart.
But if you review Steam (video game website/seller) and Steam's top games, the newest games ask for intel i5-4xxx CPU and the AMD FX-8320 is a tier down from that.
Hopefully a forum reviewer that uses an FX-83xx can give insight if you can play almost any game and just not have the best of graphics.
Also not that when a computer can push the best of graphics then the gamer needs a Monitor that can display the best of graphics.

Honestly its not good for the price. The cpu and motherboard combination is asking for throttling issues you should not run a 125w cpu on that board the vrms are too weak. Here's a better gaming system for around the same price.

Now you see, this one up here ^^^ destroys the first one.
-Upgradability to the new generation Intel CPUs (altho that i3 is a freaking beast while paired with higher clocked ram but you can't get faster ram unless you get a z170 board :C but even then i'd choose it over the FX anyday)
-The 950 is a great budget card.
-i want that build :C

That's not important. What i care about is that you don't waste your money on a platform that is pretty much dead and old. The recommendation is bignastyid's build but it's your choice. Good Luck :D
