is this a good build for gaming?

If you looking for something around this in your budget, it's good yes, but if you are looking for something that doesn't run the most consuming games I wouldn't go for it.

You should try to fit in an i3-6100, it's a much better gaming cpu than a G440.

But you'd also need an H110, H170, or Z170 board, and DDR4 RAM.

Also is the xfx radeon r9 380 4gb double dissipation video card better than the STRIX-GTX960?
