You will need to get a special motherboard to run the Pentium G4400 on DDR3 RAM. There are not many of them, so you options will be limited. Here is one from gigabyte.

Is this for mining? If so I would pass on the G4560, sell the DDR3 RAM and get the G4900 or the G5500 Gold if you want the higher clock speed and HT.

Oh, I just realized how old those GPU's are, the iGPU on the G4560/G5500 would utterly destroy those cards in gaming, even in Crossfire.

do not pair the G4560 up with ddr3 ram, some boards support it but with the voltages you will surely damage the cpu over time. If you are sure to go with the G4560 then you must get ddr4 ram to ensure that the chip will not be damaged by higher voltages.
Like wildcard said a good budget gaming graphics card would be the GTX 750 or 750ti, these go for around £50 (UK) second hand on ebay and work very well for playing most up to date games.
