$530 - Can this system run games?

[Justin0521]

I had an earlier thread and got some feedback on how to fix my build and aim it more towards a gaming build.

After you see the following parts, can you ensure me that these parts are all compatible, and will be okay for gaming and web browsing?

Optical Drive: ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - OEM ($17)

Windows 7 Home Professional 64-bit ($100)

Speakers ($13)

Keyboard ($8)

It all comes out to $530.

I was kind of hesitant about the dual-core processor, but have heard great reviews about it, does it work well when gaming for it's price?

Any tips about decreasing the price, or increasing performance without shooting the price too high.
Thanks in advance.

That's a decent build for $430 except rosewill psu's are poopy, I'd get something different like an antec, corsair, seasonic, etc

I agree with ehanger. Don't get the power supply + case combo. Get something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119227 $40 bucks with rebate

and this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026&Tpk=CX430 $20 bucks with rebate and promo code.

Biostar isn't as bad as they say, but... yeah asus and gigabyte are generally better.

Any ideas on a motherboard that I should get?

BUMP, any more suggestions? I'm thinking about purchasing it how it is in the opening post. Is the CPU listed any good for gaming?
