Hows my gaming PC?

Your CPU and Motherboard are not good at all. I would invest a litle bit more and get a newer CPU that will last longer, something like this:

Intel Core i3-4330 Haswell Dual-Core 3.5GHz LGA 1150 $139

ASRock B85 Pro4 LGA 1150 Intel B85 $69

Do I really need that processor for games like Payday 2 and LoL? And how long will my CPU last compared to the one you suggested.

That Athlon was from like 4 years ago, I would build with more current parts that will last into the future. Plus with the i3, you can upgrade to the I5 with the 1150 socket down the road.
