i would at least go with 2x4GB RAM instead of 1x8GB because of Dual Channel capabilities (faster). But other than that, looks fine for gaming purpose

not the best GPU you have (a 270x) but since you're still using a core 2 duo, I would probably agree and go with the CPU upgrade first

"dual channel" is marginally faster...in games, the difference is literally nothing to no more than 3fps...
