Will this work as a gaming PC. I know there is no cooler or SSD, but i plan to get those after Christmas. Any advice or tweaks would be appreciated.

SORRY! xD just added the list

I would get the SSD first, before the HDD.

And for cooler, you should be fine, I used the stock cooler to hold me over for a bit.

Stretch your money a little more ($80) and you get skyline, DDR4 16GB vs 8gb 

 

Is DDR4 necessary? I plan to upgrade my RAM to 16gb in the summer anyway so RAM capacity isn't an issue and what is skyline?

macbook thinks its clever Skyline is a car produced in Japan by Nissan and is popular with modders ...\

 

Skylake*** is the newest processors from Intel and offers IPC improvements over Devils and Haswell. It also offers DDR4 (more bandwidth, faster memory) and more PCIE lanes (were getting to a point were Z97 is weak with PCIE lanes) 8GB is now starting to flag
