it's good I guess, you should probably save up some more though.

There are definitely a few things that I would upgrade. If you could, save up to $450 or so. The PSU will need to be switched out, and you can find a 600-650W for cheap nowadays. The processor should be swapped for a i3-2100 or 2120 at least, and that yields a different motherboard. I'll see if I can throw a list together later on, but I'm not familiar with this site, and I'm guessing you can't use Newegg.

I3's for gaming are really bad. With that budget, get an intel pentium.

I think you should have an motherboard that has 1-2 slots for X16 PCIex 3.0 so if you decide to get a newer card like an 7000 series or gtx.

Those cards are backwards compatible with PCIE 2.0 so it doesn't really matter.
