In my opinion, no. I have a 6100 and that motherboard and it wasn't that great.

 

Much rather go with a Pentium G3258 and the cheapest supported board you could find.

Also, you could just about go for 4GB RAM to start, so you can spend more on a graphics card.

Its not bad but get windows more support 

[dragoon20005]

simple answer no

 

what games exactly you are playing?

 

Case with in built PSU are time bombs

 

and the FX4 core is pretty much worse than the Pentium dual core

[DarkBlade2117]

Honestly.. Do you have $350 saved up now? If so. Try and wait and save up another $250, better GPU, windows 8 ect..

I'd go with something like this:

Then go on eBay and see the best deal I could get on a GPU for $120 or so.

I have something similar to this, All I have to say is when you get more money put in a R9 270 and you will have a hella of a good machine for the money

I'm planning on playing some new titles like GTA 5, but I'm also planning in playing somewhat new games like far cry 4 and Assassin's Creed Unity.

So planning on switching to a dual core is an idea but I know ubisoft has a lock on dual cores for far cry 4.

go for the i3 core as the minimum CPU to use

 

but you def need to save more for your PC

 

350 wont get you much

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vdyVP6 I understand this is doubling your budget. But $350 won't get you much, dang I'm gonna be paying almost twice that for a GPU. I'd go for this at the very least. Also pick whatever case you want. Doesn't really matter to much.
