So my budget is £500. Could probably push slightly higher.

I want this for mainly gaming. Would this build be sufficient? And at what resolutions and settings would it play games such as Skyrim, The Sims 3?

Any tweaks to the build to make it better would be appreciated.

I am not an extreme gamer, so dont need it to max games out. Just to be able to play on med/high settings.
 
Made a few changes :)

Solution
Save some money and get the FX8350, But other than that you can play games at decent settings with that setup, but with the coming consoles and future games its not long and those high settings will be harder to achieve
