You could definitely use those components for a few years. the 2011 socket is getting a little old, but for the money that seems to be a bargain. I would grab it up and use it. You can always upgrade in a few years when its starts to slow down. You are going to need a dedicated gpu, but that can always be used later too. You will only be able to upgrade the cpu to something that is already out though. I don't believe they are going to be making any new chips for that socket. Like i said though.... It is a good deal.

But there is a third gen processor in it its a intrel i7 3820. that should be fine for me tho to be honest.

This can do 16 or 32gb ddr3 right

this board supports up to 64g of ram. I would not waste my money on that much though. there is no way you would use that much for gaming. I do agree that the 4770k would be a great choice though. So does this deal only include the case, mobo, cpu, and a fan?

 

[guitarman77k]

let's be honest though. No serious gamer is going to use integrated graphics. It may not have all the bells and whistles, but it will get the job done. However.... If you have to buy a lot of other components to get the thing up and running you may as well invest in current tech.

If you decide for current tech, and you dont want to spend $350 dollars on the flagship you may wanna check this deal out.

I use my integrated graphics on action for recording with quick sync. One of the best things there is, records at high fps, also soon kepler cards are going to have shadowplay for recording to. Igpu saves a lot of electricity on idles like if you have a high end video card of old (70w saved on idle) or new generation gpu (around 30w saved on idle)

Not essentual but also quite handy if you use quick sync for encoding quickly although I find it quick sync for encoding crap recording is decent.

Quick Sync is flawed on new Haswell processors. It produces lower quality image than normal encodes. It's really not worth it if quality is a concern.

Either way I feel OP is getting an "enthusiast" pc for the wrong reasons.

Just because a CPU is "enthusiast" doesn't mean it's the best for gaming. From this review and the general consensus among the internet:
"From gaming enthusiast perspective quite simply your hard earned hardware dollar is better spent on a new video card or display. (Or SSD for that matter.) While certainly CPU clock speed comes into play in the gaming arena, the games we play are largely GPU limited and most of you reading this already likely know if you have "enough" CPU for gaming. Or you likely know you are few CPU generations behind and already know you will greatly benefit from a CPU and motherboard upgrade."

From Tom's Hardware I'm going to paraphrase:
It's not worth spending more than $250 for gaming purposes on a CPU.

Get the 4670k. If you have more money to spend and just want to waste it (I did) then get the 4770k.
Z87 boards are much better than Z77 boards.

Edit: Given the fact that you're getting it used (I'm assuming) for $300 it's a great deal. If you were getting all of that new then no but for only $300 dollars snatch it up.
