So with the help of some YouTube videos, I have put together a cheap gaming set up from PCPartPicker,

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/SolidRedIron/saved/8LkvK8 ,

Is it good enough to run any Triple A Games from the last 4 years or so? Or should I get a better CPU, Motherboard, and/or Case?

Increase your budget if you want to play AAA games, even from four years ago. Many games require four physical cores.

If there is no way you can go up to $800, quote me and ill make a cheaper parts list.
 

Will be just fine if I just switch out the mother board and cpu to keep everything else the same?
