There might be a little bottleneck, but you can lower the resolution slightly if so.

IF you can't save up for it, then get this HDD and this graphics card instead.
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 750 Ti OC 2xHDMI 2xDVI 2GB
$229.44

Seagate Pipeline HD ST3320310CS 8MB 320GB
$30.76

Either way, this is an upgrade build, and when you can afford an i5 just replace it. The thing about the i3 you had and this g3220 is they are both dual cores. The hyper-threading the i3 has isn't very useful while gaming.
I got you the best PSU I could find and it should be alright for awhile.

The mobo chipset on my build is newer which is nice. Got you 2x4gb ram. As for the case, personally on budget builds cases don't get priority really and you just have to live with them. (change it for another sub $50 ATX/micro-itx if you want.)
