Wondering weather these parts will all fit together, what games this pc will run and is there any room for upgrades in the future.

Motherboard: MSI H81M-P33 Micro ATX LGA1150
CPU: Intel Pentium G3240 3.1GHz Socket 1150
GFX: MSI Radeon R7 240 LP 2gb
RAM: Kingston 4gb 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM 1600 Desktop Memory
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 3.5 inch 500gb SATA3 16MB
PSU: Aerocool VP450 450W True Power
Case: Fractal Design Core 1100 MicroATX

This is the first time i'm going to build a pc and I would appreciate some tips for which parts to get . Also remember that this is a Budget pc around $450, Cheers.

At least go for the R7 250 1GB GDDR5, or if you do not want to increase your budget anymore, the R7 240 1GB GDDR5 would be a better performer, as your 2GB DDR3 variant is little slower then the 1GB GDDR5 version and memory didn't matters unless you are a heavy gamer.

what's the problem? $450 is a fluffy budget to work with. a Pentium isn't going to bottleneck anything like a 265. in the future you can upgrade to I5. change motherboard when you want to crossfire if you want, or just buy new graphics card. top notch PSU and RAM and HDD here as well.
Easy
