That case will handle GPUs up to 11.75", and the GPU you listed is only 9.5", so yes, it will fit.

Whether the build is "good" is relative to what games you want to play and at what settings. The weak link for the most part is the CPU.

The i3 CPUs start at about $47 more, and are a wise investment. An i3 with HyperThreading enabled can perform quite a bit better in the more demanding games.

Even the lowest model stock 4130 i3 can hang with AMDs stock FX-8350, which costs over $50 more.
