Answer
Its sure is a good gaming rig, the processor is top notch and the amount and type of RAM is good so you won't face any lag or processing issues ever. Gaming mouse and keyboards are a personal preference but the one with this bundle is quite good and above average.
PSU is enough to power up all the components though i recommend that you go for a 500W or 600W PSU for keeping you future proof and also coz its the life line of all your expensive components so keep it the best you can.
The only thing that problematic here is the graphic card as it a 4GB DDR3 which is only suited for multi-monitor setups and will not give you a very good performance while gaming as a DDR3 memory is slow and can never process all that 4GB of memory in tight and fast situations like gaming and would prove to be a bottle neck for all the other high quality components in your rig so i highly recommend that you go for either of these they are in the same price range as the one that you are planning to buy:
Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7750 1 GB GDDR5
Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 1GB DDR5
If you can extend your budget then do go for:
PowerColor AMD/ATI HD 7750 1 GB GDDR5 or
Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 1 GB GDDR5
Other than this you have a very good machine change the GPU and i'll rate it 8/10

Building a Gaming PC?
Adam Matti
So im wanting to build me a gaming PC do to the fact that my laptop is only a 1.0 GHz processor and 4 GB of ram.What im wandering is if any one knows of a cheap but yet good company i can get parts for. I have an old Dell desk top running Windows 98 that i plan on salvaging to use for the tower and any thing else i may be able to salvage from it. The old thing crashed and no longer works therefor i wanna salvage as much as possible. The only games i will be running is Farming Simulator 2013 and maby GTA V ,and The Sims 3. So its nothing major that i will putting on it. I'm not wanting to spend to much cause i have a vehicle to buy in April. but any help be great! Thanks in advanced. P.S. I already have a keyboard/ mouse ,and monitor all i need is the computer hardware stuff.
Answer
GTA 5 isn't out for the PC yet but has been 99% confirmed.
To start out with, I hope you have at least 650 or so $$ spread out.
I can't really help you out here because I usually do higher end stuff with Intel and Nvidia, but..
You need a
AMD processor
AMD Videocard
Corsair 500W PSU
Best mobo that fits your cpu's socket type. (ATX mobo)
ATX Compatible mid tower case from NZXT
Optical drive
Windows 7 home premium
8 / 4 GB DDR3 1600 RAM
500Gb HDD
You can't really salvage much since your computer is so outdated. The tower wouldn't even support the motherboard yet the videocard.
Go to PCPARTPICKER.com and after you ask a few more questions on here about what hardware to get, go to that website and input all that stuff. Leave about 50$ difference of the price there and your max budget to compensate for your taxes and shipping.
