I am putting the following build together.

Corsair 200R
Radeon HD 7770 1GB
Intel Pentium G3220
ASRock H81 Pro BTC
Antec VP450
G.Skill 4GB 1333MHZ RAM (another stick later)

What gaming performance should I expect? What games would it run around med settings?

I've been playing Skyrim (with performance-enhancing mods, since my computer specs are below minimum -- which is why I'm here and looking at building my own) at 20-30 fps, and it's doable. I still have fun, which is the point. So yes, I'd call it "playable." Others find anything below 60 fps to be "unplayable." It really depends on what you yourself can tolerate.
